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","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390866063405,"sku":"19004","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/nicolas-pages","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
