Sublimate

<p>The famous author Honoré de Balzac used to say after sex there goes another novel!</p><p></p><p>Tolcher's idea? To write an entire book without ejaculating.</p><p></p><p>In a little over a month he attempts to sublimate his basest desires into art and in doing so delves into an ancient alchemical ritual-<em>nigredo albedo citrinitas rubedo</em>-that reflects his own quest for meaning.</p><p></p><p><em>Sublimate</em> explores our libidos and how they might not just be the reason behind why we have sex but a force that controls governments and societies gives rise to authoritarianism and dictates the world. </p><p></p><p>Tolcher returns to form with another chronicle that is as much sex and drugs as it is philosophy and psychology.</p>
