Sexual Medicine Sold as Sugar: Ashley Cardiff's Essays
2013
Overview
There's a similar geometry to these essays, which are styled to echo the author's own sexual development: we start out with a carefree and primary-colored little melody; then complex chords creep in, nothing serious, still very hummable; and then we're under a Beethoven shame fugue with panic attacks and full-spectrum revulsion, where we stay for most of the book, boiling with Holden Caulfield fury not just about sexuality and its discontents, but about gender, family, jobs, hell, people-- \"normal, shitty people, the kind you see everywhere, clogging streets and subways with their sagging guts and coughs and half-formed ideas and nonexistent attention spans and their fucking hats.\" [...]this book feel titrated through a mountain's worth of limestone and angst before dripping painfully out.
