Summary

Too Long; Didn’t Read: In a lively essay of one-liners, transmasculine writer Milo R. Muise examines the pleasures, prohibitions, and pleasurable prohibitions of transition, perspective, intimacy, and the recursive nature of time—like, in a fun way.

Praise

“I fell in love with the work in TL;DR for how it generously works within the multitudes one can hold in a society that narrows them. This is a book of spectacular and sprawling language, and I am thankful for all of it.”
        —Hanif Abdurraqib

“Way past the syringe emojis of those early in their transition, and not yet a “trans elder,” Milo R. Muise is producing in the middle, out of their milieu, some of the brightest and most incisive queer essays I know. Like the extraordinary record that Lou Sullivan himself left, TL;DR is a running inquiry into masculinity, misogyny, pleasure, validation, and the nature of sexual self-understanding when “problematically, I don’t exist in any of my fantasies.” That it is also buoyant, undeceived, fresh, formally sharp, here-and-there breezy, and insightful is a testament to the openness and intelligence of its author.”
        —Brian Blanchfield author of Proxies
