<p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/>From being caught having their first orgasm by their mom's
best friend to being stalked and propositioned by a fundamentalist pastor; from
soliciting spanking dates over the Internet to scoring a coveted invitation to
a threesome with some elf fetishist neighbors, art rock darling (Xiu Xiu)
Jamie Stewart's journey of fleshy
self-discovery and queer awakening makes for an extraordinary, cringy,
unputdownable epic in miniature, burning always with radical and often shocking
self-criticism. <p/>
A one-of-a-kind exploration of abasement, depravity, joy,
and embarrassment (and even joy in embarrassment),
Anything That Moves is a series of
comic, tragic X-rays of sex. It is funny, erotic, anti-erotic, honest, brave,
icky, and hauntingly sad by turns. It demonstrates too how love and forgiveness
can percolate around the edges of even the most traumatic relationships. <p/>
Stewart's band Xiu Xiu has been called "self-flagellating,"
"brutal," "shocking," and "perverse," but also "genius," "brilliant," "unique,"
"imaginative," and "luminous." Readers can expect nothing less from Anything That Moves. <p/> <p/>
