Perverts - Stories

A full-frontal confrontation of the ways we perform desire and shame--from the downright bizarre to the frighteningly relatable--by the award-winning author of An employee at a hunting ground where people pay to act out hate crimes prepares to meet their girlfriend’s parents for the first time. A self-destructive client engages in an affair with their therapist, careening their relationship toward its inevitable breaking point. At a theme park where men pay to ogle women dressed as sirens, a mild-mannered boat attendant gets engaged to the star performer. And in the title story, a pregnant internet sex worker blackmails her clients into attending a disastrous party.;;; Nothing is off limits for Mac Crane as they rework classic stories of rejection, isolation, and connection to suggest that the so-called pervert, by existing;in the margins of society, may be the one who sees the world most clearly.

A provocative and uproarious collection about pleasure, performance, and pain,
