The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times best-seller on our search for love 'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie Nelson Shon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye's experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture. Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled. In Love in Exile , Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.

Nice and plain
Color: Raven Crosshatch, Size: Standard
Great wallet, not flashy. No plastic screens inside, no coin pouch. Just a plain wallet that holds cards and cash. Standard size, fits in my pocket well. I cannot comment on the RFID, but my works badge does scan through the wallet.

Great basic wallet for my husband. This was a replacement for another Herschel Wallet he had for 10 years that was finally on it's last leg. Definitely durable and classic

Almost perfect.
Color: Navy, Size: Coin
Really nice wallet. I love Herschel quality. One issue with this specific wallet is the coin pocket on the inside. Cool idea it's just the snap for the pocket rubs on whatever the card is on the other side of the wallet. I had to move my license to a different spot before it was ruined.
