Product Information
Award-winning playwright Isaac Oliver offers his essays, stories, and riffs on finding love and intimacy in New York City. His experiences cover a decade of subway encounters with strangers, countless bedroom encounters, as well as observing the best and worst of humanity while working in a Times Square theater box office.
Oliver offers a comedic perspective as he captures the messy, moving, and absurd moments of urban life via sketches, vignettes, lists, and diaries from his life as a single gay man in New York City. This book chronicles Oliver’s encounters with love, infatuation, resilience, and self-acceptance within the schematic of our universal desire for intimacy.
