Description

---

A wildly imaginative story collection about sex, desire, queer identity, and the celebration of social taboos, by the author of Confidence. Bugsy & Other Stories is a deliciously entertaining collection of six genre-defying stories. In the title story, "Bugsy," a queer young adult battling depression finds community and transcendence through sex work. In "Futago" a psychiatrist loses his mind after a voice--eerily similar to that of Alex Trebek--appears in his head. In other stories, you will meet an e-girl and her fans, an elderly woman flashing through the pivotal scenes of her life, and a young boy on the spectrum trying to navigate life in a neurotypical world. Together, these six stories explore tenderness and what it means to care for each other and for ourselves, especially in a time when technology threatens to tear us apart.
