Here is love and sex as art, as pulse, as truth' - Lisa Taddeo, author of \u003ci\u003eThree Women\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSofia, Bulgaria, a landlocked city in southern Europe, stirs with hope and impending upheaval. Soviet buildings crumble, wind scatters sand from the far south, and political protesters flood the streets with song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this atmosphere of disquiet, an American teacher navigates a life transformed by the discovery and loss of love. As he prepares to leave the place he's come to call home, he grapples with the intimate encounters that have marked his years abroad, each bearing uncanny reminders of his past. A queer student's confession recalls his own first love, a stranger's seduction devolves into paternal sadism, and a romance with a younger man opens, and heals, old wounds. Each echo reveals startling insights about what it means to seek connection: with those we love, with the places we inhabit, and with our own fugitive selves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCleanness\u003c\/i\u003e revisits and expands the world of Garth Greenwell's beloved debut, \u003ci\u003eWhat Belongs to You\u003c\/i\u003e, declared 'an instant classic' by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
