His failed projects--as a professional ballet dancer, as a boyfriend, as a friend--have left him forever the \"third wheel.\" But maybe he likes it that way? Leaping wildly between lovers, centuries, and an ever-changing cultural landscape, Howie might just feel most himself in the fracture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDelicious, poetic, and delightfully pornographic, \u003ci\u003eTricyclist\u003c\/i\u003e is an ode to the \"abnormal angles\" of people and art. As Howie overcomes his own ambivalences--in large part thanks to two suitors, and a circle of supporters who happen to be lesbians--Joon Oluchi Lee portrays, with his signature flamboyance, all of life's joys, pitfalls, and pirouettes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoon Oluchi Lee\u003c\/b\u003e lives and writes in femininity and feminism.
