Circa 2000 Gay Fiction at the Millennium

Gay Fiction at the Millennium

By Drake, Robert & Wolverton, Terry

Publishers Summary:
"Novel excerpts bump up against short stories; science fiction jostles beside literary fiction, punk sensibility elbows its way next to high camp and classically constructed stories. The end of the 20th century has been about the breaking down of fixed categories--of art forms, of culture, of gender, of sexual orientation--the blurring of borders to allow an infinite variety of options for identity and expression. We sought to feature works by those writers whom we believe will be influential in the coming millennium. There are authors included here who have been prominent in the closing decades of this current millennium: M. Shayne Bell, Bernard Cooper, Scott Heim, David Leavitt, Michael Lowenthall, William J. Mann, Christian McLaughlin, Frank Ronan, and Colm [Tibn.] There are authors whose influence is just beginning to be felt: Mitch Cullin, Jameson Currier, David Ebershoff, Thomas Glave, Russel Leong, Jaime Manrique, David Newman and David Vernon. And we've included a few writers who are at the beginning of their publishing careers: Eitan Alexander, Andy Quan, and Keith Ridgway--whose voices promise that we will be hearing a lot more from them in the decades to come. It is an idiosyncratic roster of writers. What this anthology aims to do is introduce you to--or remind you about--a selection of writers whose intelligence, style, and heart may ease our passage into the next millennium." --From the foreword by Terry Wolverton. This is the companion volume to Circa 2000: Lesbian Fiction at the Millennium.
