We were legends. For Like... seven minutes. In We Are Stupid. Bleeding. Naked History, J. Tyson Dickson looks back at the reckless, absurd, and strangely beautiful misadventures of youth — from streaking through Albertson’s in T-shirts and nothing else, to selling fake ecstasy at a Kool Keith concert, to hitchhiking across Alaska with nothing but books and a backpack.

"The Sun and the Moon" is a thoughtful, ambitious, and deeply relevant exploration of love, life, and sexuality. This story follows the friendship of Robin and Tommy as they experience the growth – and growing pains – of their formative years.

As their lives take off in two different directions, they explore love interests of their own, and their friendship is put to the test.
