PROXIMITY is a collection of lesbian short stories by award-winning author Christian Pan.
These stories examine various forms of intimacy and sexual relationships between queer women. A flirtation between two colleagues at a dance company suddenly becomes more, a fantasy to explore same-sex desire while on a holiday is finally consummated, two old friends blur the lines between sex and money - in some ways, the women in each story relate to one another, each tale connecting with the other in subtle and more explicit ways. Whether in the costume room of a Nevada dance company or on the streets of New York City, these queer women examine similar subjects: body image, confidence, prioritizing one s own desire over that of men, and doing whatever one needs to do to make ends meet in an inequitable world. In such a complicated and layered world, how can we find pleasure within ourselves and with others? The erotic stories of PROXIMITY include "Bunhead," "Special,", and "The Cost of Living." Not only will these stories get you hot, but they will also make you think. Cover art by Matt Gold
