Polarity is a novella that tells the tale of Ezra, an electrical engineer, who meets Chu Ke Tsai one rainy night when Ezra almost runs over Ke after he’s had a bike accident. Both cold and wet from the heavy rain, they go to Ezra’s nearby house, shower, and have sex.

There’s no discernible chemistry whatsoever between Ezra and Ke. They just meet, go home, shower and do the deed. Pardon the pun, but there is no sexual energy or build-up for the reader. The characterizations of Ezra and Ke are seemingly without depth, and much of the dialog between the two men is odd and stilted...
