Mapped out on a playing field of ticklish male flesh, My Name Is Rand follows a young man on his search for the ultimate erotic adventure. Betrayed by his own skin into a helplessly eroticized state, he becomes a captive of a bizarre torture camp where men practice extreme tickling. After several near-death experiences he stumbles across a hiding place where several desperate men plot escape while taking physical solace in each other. Sweatily detailed in its depiction of men driven over the edge, this nightmarish novel is a bondage epic, a horror comic, and a totally original speculation on the nature of time and consciousness.

"I can't remember when I've been so disturbed and turned on at the same time. If a writer has ever more successfully put Eros and Thanatos in the sixty-nine position than Wayne Courtois, I want to know who it is."

—Marshall Moore, author of The Concrete Sky and Black Shapes in a Darkened Room
