Please Don't Touch the Body

By turns tender and irreverent, the eleven genre-bending stories in Please Don't Touch the Body are thrillingly concerned with the devastation - and power - of being alive today. In the collection's first story, a Japanese woman finds healing in a secret life as a sex advice columnist after being fetishised by her white husband for decades. In the fourth story, Ronald Reagan is reincarnated as a puppy and must cope with being squeezed, dropped and controlled by his young, queer owner.
