Introduction

The first novel by George K. Ilsley, whose first story collection, Random Acts of Hatred, was published to acclaim in 2003. Told in dreamlike fragments, ManBug unfolds as a love story between Sebastian, an entomologist with Asperger's Syndrome (similar to autism), and Tom, a spiritual bisexual who may or may not be recruiting Sebastian for a cult. They explore the world through their relationship, seeking meaning and value in themselves through the other. They also try to avoid the inevitable toxins around them, both real and imagined ? like bugs avoiding insecticide ? while asking the question, Just how much poison can any of us absorb?

ManBug is a beguiling, tragicomic novel about beauty, horror, desire, and what lurks just beneath the skin.
