PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

Multi-author anthology/miscellany of stories, poems and short texts which explore conflict in various kinds of relationship. With an introduction by Jon Stone and Kirsten Irving.

Description

“Nobody is going to buy the book if I say nice things about you, Werner.”
— Klaus Kinski to Werner Herzog
What are the things you can’t live with or without? What can we expect from relationships that refuse to resolve themselves one way or the other?

You Again collects together accounts of ruinous tension and blighted passion, mixing extracts and cut-ups from famous works with fresh slivers of contemporary writing.

There’s romance, of course – but other kinds of entanglement as well, all awash with delight and frustration, rage and joy, hope and perplexity.
