I Don't Think of You (Until I Do)

Fiction. Novella. Essay. I DON'T THINK OF YOU (UNTIL I DO) is a needed novella of our time. It explores the narcissism inherent in infatuation, exposing the awkward, disorienting state of passion, and articulating the comic nature that permeates the melodrama of our existence. Tatiana Ryckman chronicles the struggles of a long- distance relationship, forming a series of unsent musings to the beloved by the unnamed lover--all while keeping names and gender anonymous. At times funny, this sexy, charged, and deeply felt novella captures what loving from a distance can bring upon all of us.

An elegiac and dirty and horribly beautiful examination of love and the lack of it; Ryckman has written the anti-love story within all of us. A book so earnest and sharp in its examination of heartbreak, it will make you ache for all the people you haven't even loved yet.--T Kira Madden
