DOM Quixote in Normville is a feral, full-throated riot, an absurd, erotic charge against the windmills of censorship, institutional elitism, and cultural gatekeeping. Emre Busse, armored and unrepentant, rides through generations of queer desire, from the flickering shadows of sex cinemas to the neon-lit screens of a new era, where algorithms pulse with hunger but still fail to grasp the depth of our lust.

​

A battle cry. A love letter to Kathy Acker, to misreadings, to exiles, to those who refuse to surrender desire in the name of clarity, productivity, or sense. DOM Quixote in Normville doesn’t ask for space. It takes it.

​

Sometimes the posture of the persecuted hero is not narcissism. It is armor.
