In Bed and Up to No Good: Foolin' Around by Choice (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798900711492)

Desire Doesn't Retire

What if this is the moment you stop behaving? What if you stop explaining yourself, stop waiting for permission, stop pretending curiosity has an expiration date?

In Bed and Up to No Good: Foolin' Around by Choice offers a collection of bold, intimate, and sharply observant essays that refuse to sit quietly. Moving freely across love and intimacy, garden settings and silence, artificial intelligence and aging, grief and joy, resistance and moral courage, these pieces follow appetite rather than convention-and do so with wit, warmth, and nerve.

This book is for readers who believe life doesn't narrow-it sharpens. For those ready to choose engagement over compliance, tenderness over timidity, and joy over decorum. Written in a relaxed, conversational voice, Brent Kendrick's creative nonfiction is playful without being flippant and serious without being solemn. These essays laugh, linger, and then-when necessary-stand their ground.
