To be erotic is to be alive. Extra Extra Issue No. 27 brings together 208 pages of writing, conversations, art and photography exploring eroticism in urban life, with a cover photograph by Linda Zhengová.

Eight newly commissioned erotic short stories include contributions by Siham Amghar, Roan Kasanmonadi and Shantie Singh. The issue travels to Tokyo for Julian Ross’s conversation with novelist Jose Ando, and to Hong Kong for Zheng Bo in conversation with Natasha Hoare. Philosopher Yuk Hui speaks with Leonardo Dellanoce, while Lotfi El Hamidi reflects on masculinity in Rotterdam. Daniela Veloz explores the streets of Santiago de Chile.
