Little Deaths cover


Revealing how sex and contagion have become uneasy yet inseparable bedfellows.  In an era defined by pandemics, our perceptions of sexuality are deeply intertwined with fears and fantasies of disease, transmission, and safety. Little Deaths navigates the shifting terrain of sex and sexuality in these perilous times, examining the political and psychological life of the body.

"These compelling, bold, and infectious essays lay bare the stakes of viruses, sex, intimacies, and life and death in the era of pandemics.”

-- Rinaldo Walcott, author of The Long Emancipation

"An essential document on how to think and how to live in a post-pandemic futureless now."

-- Octavio R. González, author of Misfit Modernism

Little Deaths treats readers to all that remains dangerous, unpredictable, and uncanny about sex, a concept and an act that has lost none of its power to unnerve those who wish to sanitize it."

-- Steven Swarbrick, author of Negative
