The End of Being Known: A Memoir (2003)
Written in poet Michael Klein's uniquely passionate voice,
The End of Being Known explores the lines that define yet also blur
the boundaries of sex, friendship, and compatibility. This collection of
autobiographical essays probes the manifestations of sexual desire in its
mystical variety: incest, falling in love, being a twin, and inhabiting
the world of anonymous sex-in practice, and, in an essay about the Body
Electric movement-as something recuperative and renewing.
Each essay unfurls in a hybrid of poetry, narrative, and fragmentary
literary devices. Here is an uncompromising gaze upon the quandaries of
those whose sexual, emotional, and relational worlds collide, yielding no
answer to the riddle of desire.
Track Conditions: A Memoir (1997) -- Nominee Lambda Literary
Award
Following his alienated lover to an Ohio race track,
Michael Klein began a five-year career as a professional groom in the
world of horse racing, which eventually included caring for 1984 Kentucky
Derby winner, Swale. Klein formed an intense, loving bond with the colt,
but his life was shadowed by the undertow of his alcoholism, a complicated
relationship with his lover, and his memories of an abusive childhood.
Track Conditions is a heartfelt story of resilience that examines the
track conditions that can create and destroy champions, and those that can
ruin or save a man.
