Description
Joyful, wild, gay stories from award winning Martin Goodman. Meet his cast of characters: New York designer Arnold, whose lovely life blossoms from age 7. We watch him grow famous then learn from the bumps of life. A young priest who leaves uptight England to lose and find himself in Turkey. Queenie, scarred from her time as a beautiful boy, meets young Tom, who loves the fact that she''s a wreck. A young Indian teacher meets an older London billionaire who’s not yet out. And the stunning finale is a gay version of Melville''s classic Billy Budd, the tale of a beautiful doomed sailor. "A ravishing collection, remarkably wide-ranging in subject, mood and tone, each story exquisitely crafted."– Paul Russell, author of Immaculate Blue
