Between Men: Best New Gay Fiction

by Richard Canning

Between Men: Best New Gay Fiction Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lambda Literary Award-winning editor Richard Canning brings together all new work by Edmund White, Dale Peck, James McCourt, Andrew Holleran, and others.

Synopsis:

Eighteen of today's best writers are gathered in this stunning collection of new, unpublished stories. Also featured are stories by up-and-coming published writers like Vestal McIntyre, Patrick Ryan, Mack Friedman, and David McConnell. Edmund White delves into nineteenth-century Manhattan, reimagining an encounter between author Stephen Crane and "The Painted Boy." Andrew Holleran brilliantly portrays how youth, beauty, and time encroach on four vacationing gay men. James McCourt releases an unforgettable new outlake from the legendary correspondence of Mawrdew Czgowchwz. And Dale Peck enters the "Garden of the Lost and Found." From Kevin Killian's "Creensleeves" to Wayne Koestenbaum's "Diary of a Quack," and from Robert Gluck's "Bi-Sexual Pussy Boy" to John Weir's "Neo-Realism at the Infiniplex," Between Men is a line-up of extraordinary talent. Like the lives it describes, this collection is rich, diverse, often funny, and sometimes dangerous.
