Darryl

Jackie Ess

Underneath the sharp satire and hilarious sexual irreverence this is a deadly serious book: a brilliant novel of a seeker, like The Pilgrim’s Progress refracted by queer internet culture.

Torrey Peters

Darryl Cook is a man who seems to have everything: a quiet home, a beautiful wife, and a lot of friends to fuck her while he watches. But as the couple explore the cuckolding lifestyle, Darryl finds himself tugging at threads that threaten to unravel his marriage, his town, and himself.

Luce deLire

A radical transfeminist philosopher of secular infinity, Luce deLire writes that the concepts of liberation we have to hand—respect, freedom, privilege—are condemned by the logic of property and commodity that legitimises their use.

About the author

Luce deLire is a ship with eight sails and she lays off the quay. A time traveller and collector of mediocre jokes by day, when night falls, she turns into a philosopher, performer and media theorist. She loves visual art, installations, video art, etc. She could be seen curating, performing, directing, planning and publishing (on) various events. She is working on and with the philosophy of treason, infinity, post-secularism, self-destruction, fascism and seduction – all in mixed media.
