John wakes up one morning in the body of the man he had slept with the night before. His sensations, memories, personality, and soul are his own, but he inhabits the body of the previous night's trick, whom he had barely known. He then has to live with the knowledge he'll become any man he sleeps with-any man he sleeps as-as the men already in his life need him to remain who he is. Landing somewhere between Fight Club and Being John Malkovich, Sleeping As Others combines philosophy, fantasy, and physiology into a uniquely queer sexual adventure.
Estlin Adams is a full-time teacher, a part-time writer of eco-, erotic- and literary fictions, and a year-round mountain-bike commuter in America's old industrial Midwest. As a fifty-something queer otter and a lurker on dating- and hook-up apps, he does not share his characters' sexual schizophrenia, as far as he knows.
