Summary: Great Assortment
Review: This is a great assortment of fiction. Just when I was getting tired of gay anthologies comes this very different bunch of tales. From Jim Provenzano's scorching account of a gay-bashing to Adam Klein's "the Medicine Burns," the voices vary and the styles differ enough to provide a great sampling of gay men's fiction from 1996. I was disappointed that some were novel extracts (Michael Cunningham's, Chris Bram's from "Father of Frankenstein" and Edmund White's) but on the whole an interesting collection, particularly Kevin Killian, Stephen Beachy and Michael Lowenthal's touching account. Also recommended:
Father of Frankenstein (or anything by ) Christopher Bram
Shy by Kevin Killian
Mysterious Skin and In Awe by Scott Heim
PINS by Jim Provenzano
