Synopses & Reviews
Vincent's Tale is a "fairy" story for gays, a long, slightly campy, but highly literate fable that incorporates all the traditional matter of fairy-tales -- knights in shining armor, enchanted forests, troubadors, and lovers. Author of the widely praised first novel, Place of Shelter (published by Sun & Moon Press in 1994), Dennett here explores the world of children's tales, but transforms them into stories with gay themes as opposed to the orthodoxy of the heterosexual. At times hilarious, at other times wonderous and even tragic, Vincent's Tale is writing of the first rank.
