All Comments on 'Beyond Shame and Desire'

"Straight", not "strait". "Venerable young woman" was pretty funny. Perhaps you meant "vulnerable". In general, you've got a lot of practice in front of you before you're ready for publication.

James Joyce knew the erotic energies surging up from dreams, myth, or the deepest part of psyche and soul don’t fit into conventional molds. Read his 1909 letters to Nora or his “Finnegans Wake” and “the erotic” transforms into a tsunami of fusions that celebrate the sacredness of wet and scent and bonding that turns bodies and mind and even conventions of gender inside-out. Jane Joyce writes like she knows these truths from the inside out. I hardly have words of sufficient praise for this beautiful, unconventional and fiercely erotic work. Read it slowly. Read it out loud. It is extraordinary.
