the luci.a variations is a song of longing and sexist suffering, a paean to human closeness. A racy, humorous, disturbing and subtly mathematical cycle of 32 short stories and poems, luci.a’s arias and fugues travel from paradisaical heights to tragic undergrounds as she tells of adventures on the search for intimacy. the luci.a variations is a tale of sex, feminism, hedonism, human relationship, addiction, and love.
**Breaking news: idyll wilde’s short story “The Language of Children” made it to the Honorably Mention list of Glimmer Trains’ 2009 Family Matters Contest. That means it made the top 5% of 1,000+ entries!

Sample illustration: Variation 25, Aria 3 by Olga Prudnikova (Moscow):
“[In] the unexpurgated and utterly uninhibited style of Erica Jong, Kate Millet, and Rosemary Daniells… If you’re looking for a book to curl up with — one that you won’t be able to put down, and which will leave you very satisfied — this is it.”
– Dr. K. Tal, Burning Cities Press
“Frie Kunster is closed in July, and I was inclined to turn down this event, but when I read the luci.a variations, I was convinced that the message of the book was important enough to open for the occasion of [idyll wilde's] visit to Oslo. This is a great compliment. So we are here tonight…”
– Håkan Sandell, Frie Kunster and 2005 recipient of Kalleberger Stipendium.
“[idyll wilde]… for your beautiful poetry, for all your poetry,
for love and poetry.”
– Sharon Doubiago, poet Love on the Streets
