adam wakes up, probes his side. rib gone, wound sticky. god's fingers have touched a place that will never be touched again. how does adam not curl up, swell and fall, beg god to touch him again. to touch him everywhere else. not just ribs but cheek, inner thigh, lap. the worst part of the side-wound is not that god penetrated you but that he won't do it again

And here are my favorite books of 2021, in no particular order:

1. A Whole World: Letters from James Merrill—Trust-funded homosexual spans the globe playing Ouija board, writing about the exotic and erotic, dropping names like horse flies and asking daddy for cash. Writes poems. Has mother issues. A+

2. Patricia Highsmith: Her Diaries & Notebooks 1941-1995—Lesbian Armageddon. Don’t mess with Pat. A+

3. Red Comet: The Short Life & Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clark—If her life was so short why is this book soooo long? Has father issues. And I’m sad she put her head in that oven. A+

4. The Witcher, Season 1—Lots of boobs and F-bombs. It’s kinda like the A-Team meets MacGyver meets budget GOT. A dragon that talks. Without moving its mouth? I’m impressed that Harvey Keitel got super ripped for the lead role, but he sounds like a druid, and his costumes don’t fit right. Something very off in the wardrobe department. Like they just robbed an Urban Outfitter. Fun drinking game: take a shot of tequila every time you hear the word “destiny” in the dialogue. C-

5. Truman Capote, Portraits & Observations—Another gay writer has funsies with gossip, froth, and name-dropping. Has mother issues. Describes Jane Bowles as an “eternal sea urchin.” Not his best work.  B-

6. The Bible—A hot mess. Mother & Father issues ensue. Spoiler alert: Jesus dies at the end.

7. Lydia Davis, Essays Two—I haven’t read it but this list needed something slightly more “academic.”

8. David Sedaris, A Carnival of Snackery: Diaries (2003-2020)—Worst book title ever. Skip this one and read the first installment—Theft By Finding: Diaries (1977-2003), also a clumsy title. Youth and suffering are way more interesting. The struggle, the hustle, the flops and failures. That’s the stuff of life! But by the mid-aughts, when you’ve become successful, a little spoiled, & self-aware, you kinda lose your comedic edge. Spoken from experience. I still think Amy is funny though. B-

9. Colson Whitehead, Whatever Book He Just Published That I Didn’t Read—Because I’m an “ally.”

10. GQ Magazine—I don’t actually read this filth, but the graphic design is absolute bonkers. Go check it out.

11. Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart—Dead Mother Issues (the best kind) + descriptions of Korean food + you’re in a band. OK. I’m in. And I’m a little jealous. A+

12. The Monks of New Skete, How To Be Your Dog’s Best Friend—Because I’m a cliché and I got a puppy during the pandemic. And it’s OK to focus all that repressed sexual energy into dog training. It really works. A+

13. Marcel Dzama, Pink Moon (for which I contributed a song)—Because Marcel paid me in art.

14. Joan Didion, Let Me Tell You What I Mean—You do that, Joan. From beyond the grave. May perpetual light shine upon you. XO — S

the line “your worst sin is that you’ve betrayed and destroyed yourself for nothing” is so raw you’d think it’s from a destiel fanfic or even hetalia but it’s actually from dostoyevskys crime and punishment
