Issue No 27

To be erotic is to be alive. We welcome you to find some of the most challenging voices of today in 208 lively, desireful pages which are embraced by a sexy cover image by photographer Linda Zhengová. Eight newly commissioned erotic short stories from writers such as Siham Amghar, Roan Kasanmonadi and Shantie Singh are waiting for you. For this edition we found ourselves travelling to Tokyo, where Julian Ross spoke with novelist Jose Ando, and to Hong Kong to meet fern lover Zheng Bo in conversation with Natasha Hoare. Another voice that we are honoured to include in the world of Extra Extra is philosopher of technology Yuk Hui, who bravely explores the possibilities of what could be in conversation with Leonardo Dellanoce. We are also delighted to include Lotfi El Hamidi, who describes lavish manhood from our hometown; think hairdressers, sisha, cars and Tropicana. In our urban exploration, which we love to call urbex, we are roaming the streets of Santiago de Chile with Daniela Veloz.
In between, you can indulge in the lush art and photography of Manal Abu Shaheen, Felipe Baeza, Vera van Dam, Kudzanai-Violet Hwami and Sam Samiee.
