Book Description
A fiercely honest exploration of the risks and rewards of contemporary relationships--and hookups--Sex with Strangers embraces the dizzying power of attraction across the spectrum of passion and infatuation. In this fearless collection, lust and loneliness drive a diverse cast of queer and straight characters into sometimes precarious entanglements. Recognizing that any partner is unknowable on some level, Michael Lowenthal writes about how intimacy can make strangers of us all. A newly ordained priest struggles with guilt and longing when he runs into his ex-girlfriend. A woman weighs the cost of protecting her daughter from a man they both adore. A teenage busboy has a jolting brush with a famous musician. A young man tries to salvage a long-distance relationship while caring for his mentor, an erotic writer dying of AIDS. In edgy, disquieting stories, Lowenthal traces the paths that attraction and erotic encounters take, baffling and rueful as often as electrifying. This fraught and funny volume forces us to grapple with our own subconscious desires and question how well we can ever really know ourselves.

Book Description
Clara Lugo grew up in a home that would have rattled the most grounded of children. Through brains and determination, she has long since slipped the bonds of her confining Dominican neighborhood in the northern reaches of Manhattan. Now she tries to live a settled professional life with her American husband and son in the suburbs of New Jersey—often thwarted by her constellation of relatives who don’t understand her gringa ways. Her mostly happy life is disrupted, however, when Tito, a former boyfriend from fifteen years earlier, reappears. Something has impeded his passage into adulthood. His mother calls him an Unfinished Man. He still carries a torch for Clara; and she harbors a secret from their past. Their reacquaintance sets in motion an unraveling of both of their lives and reveals what the cost of assimilation—or the absence of it—has meant for each of them. This immensely entertaining novel—filled with wit and compassion—marks the debut of a fine writer.

No Rules, No Strings. . . Jane Monte is done with being a good girl. She followed all the rules, and look where it got her--divorced from a cheating accountant who cleaned out her bank account. Now she's got a new career, a new wardrobe, and a new attitude--she's going to throw caution to the wind while she's in Vegas on business, and have herself a steamy fling. She never let herself fall for a bad boy--now she wants to be a bad girl, and see what letting loose and having fun is all about. And sexy gambler Liam O'Rourke is just the kind of man who puts the "sin" in Sin City. . . And Definitely No Clothes Liam may look like a gambler, but that's only his cover story. A firefighter by trade, he's in town to investigate a string of fires in his friend's hotel, not to indulge his own desires. But he can't deny that the spark between him and Jane is a blaze from the moment they meet. If the gorgeous PR executive wants to learn how to be bad, he's happy to teach her every sensual trick he knows, as long as she understands that what happens between them has to stay in Vegas. But releasing Jane's wild side uncovers desires Liam never knew he had--and before long he's determined to keep the fire they've started burning forever. . .

Author: Nayan Shah Publisher: Univ of California Press ISBN: 0520950402 Category : History Languages : en Pages : 362
Book Description
In exploring an array of intimacies between global migrants Nayan Shah illuminates a stunning, transient world of heterogeneous social relations—dignified, collaborative, and illicit. At the same time he demonstrates how the United States and Canada, in collusion with each other, actively sought to exclude and dispossess nonwhite races. Stranger Intimacy reveals the intersections between capitalism, the state's treatment of immigrants, sexual citizenship, and racism in the first half of the twentieth century.

Book Description
At mid-life, Claire Dederer developed a sudden yearning for jailbreak. In this exuberant memoir, she reflects on two periods in her life uncannily similar in their emotional intensity: her present experience as a middle-aged mom in the grip of unruly and mysterious new hungers, and her recollections of herself as a teenager. Blazingly intelligent, wickedly funny, and piercingly honest, in Love and Trouble Dederer captures the perils and pleasures of girlhood, womanhood, and life itself.
