Bunn's harrowing personal essay “Extreme Lengths” is an excruciating read involving the long-clichéd male rite
of passage, circumcision. Uncut schlongs have been fetishized in gay culture,
most notably in Bel Ami's eurotwink releases. However, for a pubescent
Bunn, his overhanging prepuce was a source of muliebrity and teenage dread.
Even if you have never struggled personally with lobbing your foreskin off with
dental floss, Bunn's deliciously
awkward coming-of-age tale will ring true in painfully rich detail.
