Book excerpt: In the tradition of Georges Bataille, Kathy Acker, and Jean Genet, these 26 erotic encounters combine to form a highly charged alphabet on the pursuit of pleasure and possibilities of language. A nameless man graphically details his experiences as he cruises from parks to sex clubs in a relentless pursuit of pleasure and sexual gratification. Powerfully staging these anonymous encounters and describing each with luminous intensity, he continually tests the boundaries of sex, desire, and the body until he is faced with the ultimate challenge: to capture adequately in words the physical sensations he experiences.
