About book The Girl Who Couldn't Come (2011)

The Girl Who Couldn't Come (the short story, not the book) is the sexiest thing I've ever read, but the anthology disappoints me overall. It's a collection of excerpts; smutty, sexy, comeau-ish excerpts from someone strange people's sex lives, and it's cool if you're into that, but I wish they had a bit more context around them. Short and sweet is one thing, but I think that most stories here end way too abruptly. there is just no one who uses words or thinks thoughts like Joey Comeau. as somebody on Autostraddle once wrote, Comeau's writing is queer in every sense of the word. I like A Softer World, but I think he's even better at longer-form writing. you could think of this book as erotica, maybe, in that all the stories have sex in them. but they also have math and drama and tension and office supply stores and meteor showers and juvenile delinquents. oh, and time travelling to try to seduce Patricia Highsmith. hello.
