There are books that invite the reader into another world. This one takes the reader captive.
Nowhere and Nowhither Tales enters a civilization in which sexuality has become commerce, ritual, punishment, entertainment, and war. Bodies are desired, purchased, displayed, violated, worshipped, and consumed, while the institutions that claim to preserve morality reveal themselves as accomplices to appetite and power.
John LaChance refuses the consolations through which readers ordinarily distance themselves from brutality, sexuality, and moral corruption. There are no reassuring explanations, no symbolic veils, and no narrative judgments instructing us how to feel. The acts speak for themselves.
Through cinematic scene-craft, ruthless descriptive specificity, and psychological interiority, LaChance strips away every comfortable layer between the reader and the world on the page. Violence is not converted into metaphor. Depravity is not safely confined to monsters. Whether depicting viscera or consciousness, the relentlessly denuded language forces us into the undressed present of sexual violence.
This is sexuality as power, appetite, humiliation, possession, and exposure.
The question is not whether you can endure what the novel depicts, but what your willingness-or refusal-to enter reveals about you.
