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
