When he tired of Toronto’s insular scene, art critic Martin Heather fled to Berlin, where he tried to sleep his way through the entire population of gay men. And then he met Alexandar, who began to tutor Martin in increasingly violent sex – and in love.          Pervatory is a series of journal entries about Martin and Alexandar’s relationship. But interjections from the present, where Martin has been institutionalized, suggest that the hints we get of his increasing instability and obsession with the idea that his apartment is haunted by an evil spirit may have led to something dire …          RM Vaughan was an astute art critic, a dazzling poet, and an important queer activist. His untimely death in October 2020 was a tremendous loss to the queer and literary communities. This novel is what he left for us.  \"Pervatory is RM Vaughan's perverse Valentine to Berlin. It is sexy, funny, often elegant, and a fitting elegiac punctuation mark to his incredible body of work. Given the way he left us, it is as devastating as it is exhilarating.\" – journalist and Lambda Award–winning author Matthew Hays   \"RM Vaughan was a promiscuous pansy, a louche moralist, a lonely heart, but most importantly, he was a writer, an irritating, idiosyncratic, incisive writer. This country, with its mawkish, mediocre literary culture, didn't know what to do with him. Pervatory is his final affront.\" – Derek McCormack, author of Castle Faggot  \"Brilliant, funny, propulsive.\" – Zoe Whittall, author of The Best Kind of People","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741200130321,"sku":"NGR9781552454374","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037143040273,"sku":"NIN9781552454374","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52424997667089,"sku":"NLS9781552454374","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1552454371.jpg?v=1751407313"},{"product_id":"troubled-book-rm-vaughan-9781552451984","title":"Troubled","description":"Everyone falls in love with their therapist at least a little. But what happens when the therapist not only loves you back but also acts upon it? Troubled is the poetic account of the true story of a patient\/psychiatrist relationship gone horribly wrong. With his signature mix of scathing self-analysis and volatile wordplay, RM Vaughan brazenly documents how an innocent flirtation with his therapist escalated into dangerous sexual misadventure. But when the clandestine relationship goes awry, the consequences are heart-rending and career-ending.  Troubled is brutally honest and erotically frank, a no-holds-barred confession that is itself distrustful of the language of confession.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51036911010065,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51036913860881,"sku":"NIN9781552451984","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52683465294097,"sku":"NLS9781552451984","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1552451984.jpg?v=1750926054"},{"product_id":"monster-trilogy-book-rm-vaughan-9781552451328","title":"The Monster Trilogy","description":"Ogres, trolls, demons -- monsters, like violence, are always represented as male. Not this time. Celebrated playwright RM Vaughan gives us, in three one-act monologues, three very monstrous women.  In A Visitation by St Teresa of Avila upon Constable Margaret Chance, we meet a middle-aged police officer whose world view is determined by her obsession with race, bloodlines and genetic determinism. The Susan Smith Tapes (made into a film for CBC and Showcase by Jeremy Podeswa) shows the famous American who drowned her two young sons trying to recapture the public's attention by auditioning for talk shows. And Dead Teenagers introduces us to a frustrated reverend unhealthily addicted to the spectacle of large funerals for murdered children.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52684078743825,"sku":"NLS9781552451328","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52752489709841,"sku":"NIN9781552451328","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781552451328.jpg?v=1762322184"},{"product_id":"camera-woman-book-rm-vaughan-9781552450550","title":"Camera, Woman","description":"'There are no lost women, only women who've forgotten their scripts.'
