The work traces the consciousness of those in it, a lot of thought looping through sex, jealousy, friendship, landscape, politics, memory and the stubbornness of having a body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eLawless writes with an unusually porous first person, allowing the narrator’s attention to move almost associatively between the immediate and the enormous — a bath, a lover, a dance floor, the burning coastline, the politics of sex work. Romantic obsession is continually set against friendship and chosen family, while sex work is neither treated as confession nor political symbol. A formally loose, intimate Australian novel about embodiment, queer community, obsession and the small freedoms available inside systems that would prefer cleaner categories. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition \/ Condition: Allen \u0026amp; Unwin, Sydney, 2021.
