Mask Magazine

Collected Writings

“The kind of love that anaesthetizes you to the world says less about the purity of your object and more about the romance you have with yourself.”

This volume gathers the full body of my work as a columnist at Mask Magazine. It includes the complete serial novella Diary, essays and autotheory on sex work, polyamory, diaspora, and queer life, and reviews of writers like Brontez Purnell and Myriam Gurba. Written across several years, these pieces move between hustler memoir, fiction, and cultural commentary, tracing a lived archive of obsession, survival, and desire in the early 21st-century underground. Together they form a single tome, both fractured and continuous, that documents a queer literary voice in formation. The volume is available here.

Mask Magazine was an online publication (2014–2019) dedicated to the messy, ecstatic, and precarious lives of young people under late capitalism. Founded by a collective of writers, artists, and organizers, it mixed memoir, cultural criticism, and political commentary with a DIY, zine-driven aesthetic. Its columns and features were unapologetically queer, anti-capitalist, and experimental—less a magazine in the glossy sense than a living archive of voices writing from the underground.
