![]() “Polyamorous Love Song is a dream-like novel about the meaning and value of dreams, a convention-busting novel about breaking social and aesthetic norms.” - The Globe and Mail It has the capacity to not only deliver itself like a punch to the gut but also leave a lingering sting.” - Quill & Quire (starred review) “ Polyamorous Love Song is… surreal, transgressive, and unsettling. With his vivacious ideas, word play, and the serious and inane served up on a plate-Wren lifts my spirits, intellectual and other, because to know he’s writing so beautifully in this mad, sad world is a wonderful thing.” -Lynne Tilman ![]() “Everything Jacob Wren touches interests me, excites me-he’s both sophisticated and innocent in attitude-he’s a kind of wise old man and open-hearted lover. Reading it, I wondered why I wasn’t more afraid.” -Tamara Faith Berger, author of Maidenhead This book notably asks: Are we all pretending? Wren mines the ethical implications of both hidden literature and mass entertainment. “Polyamorous Love Song sets up every human being as an artist-oversexed, furry and holding a gun-to play through wicked palindromes of sex performance and political protest. With a diverse palette of vivid characters-from people who wear furry mascot costumes at all times, to a group of ‘New Filmmakers’ that devises increasingly unexpected sexual scenarios with complete strangers, to a secret society that concocts a virus that only infects those on the political right-Wren’s avant-garde Polyamorous Love Song (finalist for the 2013 Fence Modern Prize in Prose) will appeal to readers with an interest in the visual arts, theatre, and performance of all types. Shot through with unexpected moments of sex and violence, readers will become acquainted with a world that is at once the same and opposite from the one in which they live. From interdisciplinary writer and performer Jacob Wren comes Polyamorous Love Song, a novel of intertwined narratives concerning the relationship between artists and the world.
