Review: I Could Smile for a While by Niptong Random Man Editions (2024)

"Sure, they’re girls, but more specifically, they’re GLAMOROUS, they’re CAREFREE or PLAGUED, and they’re HORNY. Girls who make contact…with you, or the quivering terrain of love. Maybe the sky will crack open under the influence of this combination, or you’ll find yourself suddenly and sublimely happy.

"We are always either pre- or post- colonoscopy. When you see a hunk on the street with her lower belly hanging slightly over the waistband of her skirt, heels sticking out the back of her Nikes, sexy hair in a bun and she’s gnawing on the straw of her Slurpee instead of sipping it, you can know that she’s one or the other. And that she’s maybe on her way somewhere. It’s as simple as knowing that she is or is not dead, that there is or is not Slurpee left."

WHISPERING AS WISHFUL THINKING Public Parking (2023)
"Both transness and illness are subject to the surveillance of interpersonal interest; this is because transness (under the pseudonym of “clinical gender dysphoria”) is a pathology vis-a-vis the Western medical canon. Healing as a predetermined narrative subscribes to the genre of extractive biography by presupposing an end: HEAL or DIE (or GET LOST). In terms of genre, formal strategy, or ontological status, what happens to those of us who fail to do either?”
