A one-of-a-kind exploration of abasement, depravity, joy, and cringe, Anything That Moves is Xiu Xiu singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart's memoir-in-hookups. It is funny, erotic, anti-erotic, honest, brave, icky, and sad, and demonstrates how love and forgiveness can percolate around the edges of even the most traumatic relationships.
Jamie Stewart is best-known as the singer and composer of the avant-pop group Xiu
Xiu. Founded in 2002, the band has released 15 full-length albums to date.
Stewart has also collaborated on several large-scale projects and concerts with
the artist Danh Vo at the Guggenheim, Walker Museum, and at the Kitchen; and
with the blessing and support of David Lynch, the band was commissioned by the
Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane to reinterpret the music of his landmark work
Twin Peaks
'As I would have put it at the peak of my Xiu Xiu fandom: yesssssssssssssssssssssss.' Emily Temple, Lit Hub
'A tragicomic depiction of how Stewart used sex to cope with deep - and even tragic - family dysfunction. At the beginning, Stewart offers a telling author's note: "If we are related, please, for the love of God, do not read this book." A powerfully erotic memoir.' Kirkus Reviews
