Fiction. On an unseasonably warm autumn day, an American newly
arrived in a foreign city pays a young man for sex. Over the next
months, as what at first seems an uncomplicated transaction deepens
into something more intricate and unnerving, his discovery of the
geography and griefs of an unfamiliar country is accompanied by the
unfolding of Mitko's own narrative, his private history of illness,
exploitation, and want. The story of a desire that grows
increasingly ambivalent, poised between submission, need, and
resentment, MITKO is a powerful meditation on the chances of
history and privilege, on mutual predation, and on our inability to
know with any certainty the natures of others or our own fugitive
selves.
