Mikko Mäkelä’s tale of a young aspiring novelist who researches a book about sex workers by engaging in sex work himself attempts a meditation on the desire for connective understanding between older and younger gay men but ends up an unintentional expose of how the current generation of writers focus almost entirely on getting published as an end to itself rather than on writing something worth publishing (or reading).
