TL;DR: Wanting is five books of explicit adult literary fiction about desire and what it costs to stop performing: Gettin’ Laid, The Blonde With a Violin Tattoo, Through the Looking Glass, Reincarnation and The Itty Bitty Titty Committee. The explicit parts are essential, because what happens to a body is how these characters find out what they want. Gettin’ Laid and The Itty Bitty Titty Committee are a matched pair, one from the male viewpoint and one from the female.
Five people who built something to be looked at
A man with a twelve-year system for never being known. A twenty-two-year-old at a reception desk who watches a couple kiss in a lobby at 10:47 on a Tuesday. A young woman in a Bucharest studio performing for anonymous rooms. Two women in a 1971 therapy office remembering things that don’t belong to this life. Four friends at a Greek restaurant on a block that’s changing around them.
These are explicit books, and the explicit parts are essential. What happens to a body is how these characters find out what they want, which is usually not the thing they’ve been arranging their life around.
Two of them are a matched pair. Gettin’ Laid is the male viewpoint and The Itty Bitty Titty Committee is the female one, written to sit beside each other on completely different kinds of relationship.
