Summary

Using bisexuality as a frame, Go the Way Your Blood Beats questions the division of sexuality into straight and gay, in a timely exploration of the complex histories and psychologies of human desire. A challenge to the idea that sexuality can either ever be fully known or neatly categorised, it is a meditation on desire's unknowability.

Interwoven with anonymous addresses to past loves - the sex of whom remain obscure - the book demonstrates the universalism of human desire. Part essay, part memoir, part love letter, Go the Way Your Blood Beats asks us to see desire and sexuality as analogous with art - a mysterious, creative force.

very powerful reflection of monosexism

Amherst has wrote a book that truly captures the feelings, thoughts and prejudice that both internally and externally experienced of bi sexuality. Highlighting monosexism that is embedded within everyday society and the fluidity of sexuality and that of bisexuals.
