Read This Book: Close, Too Close

I have always said that Chicu is an awesome writer, so when she told me her story was to appear in an anthology of queer erotica, I was very excited. And what a beautiful story it is. I liked it--and a story by Michael Malik G. about a gay narrator and his friendship with a young man--most of all the stories in the book.

And I might be biased, but you should all go read my review and then buy the book.

didnt strike me as 'stigma associated with being queer' at first go though, seemed more like a 'hell with your conventions, we're getting published with the names we want' point being made...

mad hatter: I didn't think of that. But I suspect the "stigma associated with being queer" is at least part of the reason--I think several of the authors are using pseudonyms too.
