Now, eighteen short stories—eight never before published—by the acknowledged masters and bright new voices of gay literature show MEN ON MEN 2 to be part of the cutting edge—not just of gay fiction, but of contemporary American literature. While many of the stories deal with the intense struggle AIDS has produced between love and fear, others give new insights into the ageless problems of family life—especially the relationship between fathers and sons—and offer passionate, often eloquent perceptions on the search for love, identity and a sense of community. David Leavitt's psychologically uncompromising portrait of uneasy friendship and sexual dependency explores the erotic boundaries of gay life. Joseph Pintauro's provocative story of men in prison dramatizes a disturbing form of sexual initiation, while Albert Innaurato's humorous account of a Gay Pride parade reveals the strengths and frailties of people caught in a time of disruptive change. In this eagerly awaited new volume of gay fiction, vibrant voices speak out on a diverse range of immediate and timeless themes, revitalizing today's literature with new visions and new truths.
