Inspired by a failed romance with the Swiss artist-writer Nicolas Pages and collaging texts that Dustan initially produced for a wide variety of other occasions (magazine articles, short stories, project notes, shopping lists, and more), the \"auto-\/bio-\/porno-graphic\" prose of Nicolas Pages is by turns trashy and encyclopedic, corporeal and philosophical. Here Dustan inaugurates a \"gay literature\" that is no longer painful or shameful, but epicurean and cheerful without ever lapsing into idealism. A vibrant plea for gay rights and a tapestried text that is more than the sum of its many styles, \u003ci\u003eNicolas Pages\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to explore the body, sexuality, and writing in all their variety; it is a hymn to life, humanity, pleasure, and desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Semiotext(e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635901948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Guillaume Dustan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43180661604533,"sku":"9781635901948","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bb7c720a-9484-4cb8-9328-56f28d340ce2.jpg?v=1697517571","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nicolas-pages-9781635901948","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
