Afrodesium:
A Cocksman Returned

Returning is easy. Explaining yourself is harder.

The Afrodesium universe has never been particularly respectful of dignity, authority, certainty, or the reassuring stories people construct about themselves.

Afrodesium: A Cocksman Returned continues that tradition by bringing its central absurdities back into a society more than willing to misunderstand what they mean.

Reputation collides with memory. Desire collides with social order. Identity becomes something other people insist on defining while institutions attempt to classify behavior they barely understand.

Around it all, the language of seriousness grows increasingly incapable of containing the nonsense being described with it.

Through exaggeration, sexual satire, social commentary, institutional parody, and deliberate absurdity, the novel continues Afrodesium’s larger argument with respectable civilization.

Afrodesium: A Cocksman Returned is a comic collision between identity, reputation, social expectation, power, and the human need to pretend our strangest institutions make perfect sense.
