Inspired by a failed romance with the Swiss artist-writer Nicolas Pages and collaging texts that Dustan initially produced for a wide variety of other occasions (magazine articles, short stories, project notes, shopping lists, and more), the \"auto-\/bio-\/porno-graphic\" prose of Nicolas Pages is by turns trashy and encyclopedic, corporeal and philosophical. Here Dustan inaugurates a \"gay literature\" that is no longer painful or shameful, but epicurean and cheerful without ever lapsing into idealism. A vibrant plea for gay rights and a tapestried text that is more than the sum of its many styles, \u003ci\u003eNicolas Pages\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to explore the body, sexuality, and writing in all their variety; it is a hymn to life, humanity, pleasure, and desire.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuillaume Dustan (1965-2005) worked as an administrative judge in France before turning to writing full-time.
