The prejudice against writing sex in Anglo-American literature is something that utterly baffles me. What a bizarre thing it is to claim that this central, profound territory of human life is off-limits to literary or artistic representation. Sex seems to me one of the densest and most intense human phenomena, one of the things I find it hardest to think about\u2014and so something I want to think about in art. The biggest surprise to me about the reception of my first book\u2014other than the fact of there being any reception at all\u2014was how much discussion there was about the sex in it. There isn\u2019t very much sex in it! It said something about the culture of mainstream publishing in America in 2016 that a novel with maybe three or four pages of explicit sex between men could seem surprising.<\/p>\n
