In this genre-transcending book, trans writer and media artist Chase Joynt and HIV-positive movie artist Mike Hoolboom come together over the films of Chris Marker to exchange transition tales, confessional missives that map out the particularities of occupying what they call 'second lives' Chase's transition from female to male and Mike's near-death from AIDS. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving cultural theory with memoir and media analysis, \u003ci\u003eYOLT\u003c\/i\u003e asks intimate questions about what it might mean to find love and hope through conversation across generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'Chase Joynt and Mike Hoolboom here give each other the gift so many people only dream of: ample, unhurried space to unspool crucial stories of one's life, and an attentive, impassioned, invested, intelligent receiver on the other side. The gift to the reader is both the example of their exchange, and the nuanced, idiosyncratic, finely rendered examination it offers of biopolitical experiences which, in many ways, define our times.
