“Beutner’s retelling is resolutely queer: strange, beautiful, ambivalent, sexually fluid, full of human complexity and godly simplicity.”

—Andrea Lawlor

Dispatches From the Far Reaches of Modern Life

“From one essay (or subculture) to the next, Denizet-Lewis’s fellow voyeurs can discover all sorts of examples of human behaviors that seem similar but differ in direct opposition.”
