{"product_id":"9781780994987","title":"Levitate the Primate","description":"\u003cp\u003eLevitate the Primate is a collection of essays and confessions about sex, taken, in large part, from 2008-9, when I wrote a sex and dating blog for Nerve.com. They have been expanded, edited, and reframed with the embedded narrative of an affair I had with a woman for whom I later quit my job and moved across the country to be with, failing. This story was the secret backdrop for every essay: remembrance of bad sex, shambolic internet dates, moral infirmness, handjobs, blowjobs, an HIV scare, and STD, and a hope-filled cross-country move that ended in shambles. Easy essay is its own fragmentary evidence of that story, which, taken in aggregate, become an epistolary memento-a struggle to keep the single thread of romance centered in a world of topic distraction, mundanity, and indifference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hunt, John Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037679239408,"sku":"9781780994987","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780994987_p0.jpg?v=1763717289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780994987","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
