Crossings is a book about queer cruising. Cruising understood not only as what we do when we go out looking for sex, but cruising as a creative methodology of the erotic, one that decenters space, time, identities and the materiality of bodies, opening them all to new constellations of being, to pleasures unknown. Drawing from, but not restricted by, histories of gay male cruising, the book stages a creative autotheoretical dialogue between a queer artist and a queer academic reminiscing about and thinking with their cruising lives. The result is an erotic hybrid form hovering between artist book and scholarly work, between manifesto and sex memoir. There, the voices of each author, merged together in one, invite the reader to inhabit the erotic spacetime between self and other, the familiar and the strange, desire and pleasure, climax and release. That is, the spaces and temporalities of cruising itself.
