Book #3 of “Books on Tape Vol. 2”
The Immense Complexities of Love is based on personal and friends’ experiences. The first half of the book starts off from my own experiences and ends with one of my friend’s near misses of an unwanted pregnancy. The title of the book is from a small art piece I produced in which I ripped a page from a novel. The top of the book page in typed letters read, “The immense complexities of love.” Under it i wrote “She left” about 500 times in pencil. I ended up selling that piece to a girl who was getting ready to dump her boyfriend and move to New York. A year later, the same thing happened to me! Irony!
