"Sauna" af Mads Ananda Lodahl er en medrivende fortælling om to mænd, der finder hinanden gennem deres længsel efter frihed og samvær. Historien i Mads Ananda Lodahl roman "Sauna" udspiller sig i en saunaklub midt i København. Her ringer mænd diskret på, hvorefter de bliver lukket ind i den hede sauna og det intime rum, der har én overordnet regel. Man skal være nøgen! I saunaklubben får Johan job som receptionist, og han bliver gjort opmærksom på reglen. Den bliver svær at håndhæve, da den transkønnede William dukker op i klubben og beder om lov til at beholde sit sportstøj på. William giver Johan lyst til at bryde alle regler. "Sauna" af Mads Ananda Lodahl giver læseren et fortroligt indblik i de to mænds relation, der giver anledning til tanker om sex, ensomhed, sensuel økologi og at gøre op med forestillinger om krop og samfund.
