"So young, so contemporary, so thoughtful and skillful in dissecting the exquisite corpse of gay life today." —Edmund White
"Nick Comilla's Candyass is a queer Casanova travelogue for the modern age that's both bold and bittersweet." —Slava Mogutin, author of Lost Boys and Food Chain
"To read Candyass is to witness the end of something the second you attain it, to enter a perpetual state of loss where everything happens in the name of poetry. In this transgressive text, conjuring the muse means tracing the impressions others leave on your skin, aware that the smell of a lover will last longer than the memory of their face. At turns wise, infuriating, and sad, Candyass will keep you thrumming with discovery and lust and feeling." —Daniel Allen Cox, author of Shuck and Mouthquake
