Summary:
Contra/Diction is a collection of stories - full of rage, wonder, and bereavement - that represent the plurality of gay identity confirming, as suggested in the Introduction, that not all gay men "drive to Ikea, go to the gym and buy new ties for their management-level positions before taking in the latest stage hit." In these stories, the nightmare and paradise of sexuality, love, and community are viewed from different perspectives, along with issues of race, class, violence, politics, and homophobia: dark fantasies about hustlers and one-night stands, cautionary tales about murderers and dreamers.
Genre:
Short stories.
