"My Name Is Rand, originally published in 2004 by Suspect Thoughts Press, has been universally recognized as a modern classic of erotic literature. The Library of Homosexual Congress, the Rebel Satori Press imprint curated by Tom Cardamone and Sven Davisson, is proud to introduce this book to new generations of readers while preserving gay heritage. ""Courtois is a superb writer who has a strong narrative intuition that drives this story to destinations you wouldn't normally think of."" -Jerry Wheeler, author of Mercedes General, from the Introduction ""[A]s far as I know this is the first full-bore novel to detail the power of being tightly bound and tickled to the point of orgasmic madness. Courtois's prose is dark, nightmarish, unrelenting, and-for some-even unsettling, in its depiction of coercive sex, forced bondage, and near-torture as a pathway to pleasure. More. No more. Yes, more."" -Richard Labont�, Books to Watch Out For ""A tragicomic tour de force."" -Patrick Califia, author of Macho Sluts ""I can't remember when I've been so disturbed and turned on at the same time. If a writer has ever more successfully put Eros and Thanatos in the sixty-nine position than Wayne Courtois, I want to know who it is."" -Marshall Moore, author of The Concrete Sky Wayne Courtois was born in Portland, Maine, and currently lives in Kansas City, Missouri with his husband.
