Using bisexuality as a frame, this book questions the division of sexuality into straight and gay, in a timely exploration of the complex histories and psychologies of human desire. A challenge to the idea that sexuality can either ever be fully known or neatly categorised, it is a meditation on desire's unknowability. Interwoven with anonymous addresses to past loves, the sex of whom remain obscure, this book demonstrates the universalism of human desire. Part essay, part memoir, part love letter, this book asks us to see desire and sexuality as analogous with art - a mysterious, creative force.
