"Here's the thing with kissing: it matters intensely or not at
all." Mid-kiss, do you ever wonder who you are, who you're kissing,
where it's leading? It can feel luscious, libidinal, friendly, but
are we trying to make out something through our kissing? For
Kathryn Bond Stockton, making out is a prism through which to look
at the cultural and political forces of our world: race, economics,
childhood, books, and movies. Making Out is Stockton's memoir about
a non-binary childhood before that idea existed in her world. We
think about kissing as we accompany Stockton to the bedroom, to the
closet, to the playground, to the movies, and to solitary moments
with a book, the ultimate source of pleasure. Avidly Reads is a
series of short books about how culture makes us feel. Founded in
2012 by Sarah Blackwood and Sarah Mesle, Avidly-an online magazine
supported by the Los Angeles Review of Books-specializes in
short-form critical essays devoted to thinking and feeling. Avidly
Reads is an exciting new series featuring books that are part
memoir, part cultural criticism, each bringing to life the author's
emotional relationship to a cultural artifact or experience. Avidly
Reads invites us to explore the surprising pleasures and obstacles
of everyday life.
