AT CERTAIN POINTS WE TOUCH - LAUREN JOHN JOSEPH...

SELECTED FOR STYLIST' S FICTION YOU CAN'T MISS IN 2022 - 'AN ESSENTIAL READ'    NAMED AS A BOOK
OF 2022 BY ESQUIRE   STYLIST   SHEERLUXE AND FOYLES  'A stone-cold masterpiece by a shocking
new talent' OLIVIA LAING   It's four in the morning  and our narrator is walking home from the
club when they realise that it's February 29th - the birthday of the man who was something like
their first love. Piecing together art  letters and memory  they set about trying to write the
story of a doomed affair that first sparked and burned a decade ago.  Ten years earlier  and
our young narrator and a boy named Thomas James fall into bed with one another over the summer
of their graduation. Their ensuing affair  with its violent  animal intensity and its
intoxicating and toxic power play will initiate a dance of repulsion and attraction that will
cross years  span continents  drag in countless victims - and culminate in terrible betrayal. 
At Certain Points We Touch is a story of first love and last rites  conjured against a vivid
backdrop of London  San Francisco and New York - a riotous  razor-sharp coming-of-age story
that marks the arrival of an extraordinary new talent.   'Lauren John Joseph writes with such
wit  glamour  and style! I haven't read a book that so powerfully evokes what it's like to be a
wild young artist among other wild young artists since the Bright Young Things' TORREY PETERS 
author of Detransition  Baby    'Lauren's debut novel is so exciting. The writing is so fresh 
funny and gripping - and carries the trademark wit that I have always loved from Lauren' TRAVIS
ALABANZA    'The struggle to find ones place in the world as an artist and lover  creating self
and culture as you go along - At Certain Points We Touch captures this fleeting  dazzling
moment with glamour and heart' MICHELLE TEA
