Summary Annotation Written in poet Michael Klein's uniquely passionate voice, "The End of Being Known explores the lines that define yet also blur the boundaries of sex, friendship, and compatibility. This collection of autobiographical essays probes the manifestations of sexual desire in its mystical variety: incest, falling in love, being a twin, and inhabiting the world of anonymous sex--in practice and, in an essay about the Body Electric movement--as something recuperative and renewing. Each essay unfurls in a hybrid of poetry, narrative, and fragmentary literary devices. Here is an uncompromising gaze upon the quandaries of those whose sexual, emotional, and relational worlds collide, yielding no answer to the riddle of desire
