| Meer info | Writen with luminous clarity and a generosity of spirit that is immediately appealing, this collection of sixteen stories charts the lives of gay men, as well as their lovers, friends, and families. Set in the neighberhoods of Boston during the eighties and early nineties, these eloquent stories vividly portray men who are struggling to negotiate the demands of living fully and simultaneously in two cultures: the culture of their gay identity and that of the larger community. The story "Enrollment" depicts the delicate balance of Nick's Italian family, the jewish clan into which his cousin marries, and the "stronger, less explainable" reasons of his own gay life. In "Fatherly", the protagonist is both repelled and attracted by the brand of intimacy offered by a married priest sporting Hawaiian shirts. And in the extraordinary title story, a liberal junior-management executive tries to teach his young black boyfriend, newly arrived from the South, the "acceptable" language and mores of gay culture - an endeavor that lead to a devastating moment of self-exposure. With wit, subtlety, and uncanny accuracy, Philip Gambone shows us how even the least glamorous places places and encounters can give rise to startling and mysterious epiphanies. |
