As Robert Olen Butler claims in his blurb on the cover of this book it is more than an anthology of gay fiction, but one of intimacy resulting in insights "into the universal human condition." I would add that it is also an anthology that includes much great literature from writers who are exemplars of the craft of fiction.
In this authoritative collection of short stories on male homosexuality by gay and non-gay writers, Alberto Manguel and Craig Stephenson present a rich diversity of visions and voices, creating an anthology that makes gay fiction accessible to a mainstream audience.
