Brand: Mad Creek Books
Product Description
In Eating Lightbulbs and Other Essays Steve Fellner traces the seriocomic absurdities of his own mind and its obsessions with family mental illness film poetry and gay sex. His search for love finds its outlets and objects wherever it can in an imaginary 1970s Cineplex movie theatre at a baby shower or in a coed sexual abuse support group via a letter penned to the ghost of an environmental activist who killed himself or in the form of the AIDS quilt lava lamps amoebas and a famous queer poet who didnt know he existed. As he charts the inherently flawed ways heand welive and love Fellner is always ready to subvert victim narratives even if he has to commit a few or more than a few acts of betrayal along the way. Unflinching and sidelong laughoutloud funny and as sharp and unpredictable as shards of fine glass these essays look straight at the moments in life most of us would rather forget. show more
