There is nothing else quite like it, for no other writer has experimented with gay experience in the context of our adolescence in straight America in such a direct, sensual and imaginative manner."</strong> <em>(Gordon Montador/Body Politic)</em></p><p>"<strong>THE SIGHTING</strong> <strong>is absorbingly disconcerting. The storys 1950s Midwest small town teenage settingfull of randy high school adolescents racing their jalopies to the local drive-in, whose coarse normality is contrasted with a sensitive youths realization that he is attracted to other boysis gradually invaded by elements from another realm of experienceor, perhaps, another kind of literature...There are sightings of a flying saucer above the town, Bela Lugosi in person appears, and at the climax these two interventions are bizarrely and violently counterpointed against a celebration of sensual love between two boys. The juxtaposition of the surreal and the naturalistic in the denouement is oddly satisfying and miraculously unsentimental in its endorsement of the abnormal relationship."</strong> <em>(Charles Palliser, author of the international bestseller THE QUINCUNX)</em></p><p>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<br /><strong>John Stewart Wynne</strong> was nominated for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Fiction for his novel <strong>THE RED SHOES</strong>. His book of short stories <strong>THE OTHER WORLD</strong> was named one of the best books of the decade by <em>The James White Review.</em> He is also a twice-Grammy-nominated producer of audio books.</p><p>PRAISE FOR OTHER FICTION BY THE AUTHOR<br />"I read this so fast I got blisters turning pages. <strong>THE RED SHOES</strong> is so astonishingly good, original, beautiful and amazing I think it is a great work of art." <em>(Kate Christensen, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Best American Work of Fiction Award)</em></p><p>With so much tepid and sentimental fiction coming out, John Wynnes stories in <strong>THE OTHER WORLD</strong> are like a plunge in cold water. With a near-Brechtian intensity of focus and an infallible ear for dialogue, Wynne casts a laser eye on the things we say, so different from what we mean. Sometimes the world is as other as Hieronymous Bosch, sometimes as other as simply being queer. People on the edge, the margins of love. A book to handle with asbestos gloves, but well worth the walk through fire." <em>(Paul Monette, National Book Award winner)</em></p><p>OTHER EBOOKS BY THE AUTHOR<br />Other ebook titles by the author, all of which are part of the Tree Line Story Book series:</p><p><strong>Louise, Dont Go</strong></p><p><strong>Narcissist</strong></p><p><strong>Blonds</strong></p><p><strong>The Needles Highway</strong></p><p><strong>A Night in the Pampas</strong></p>...9780931476044_Tree Line Bookslibro_electonico_9780931476044_9780931476044John StewartInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/draft2digital_ipp-epub-fcfd4bcc-b5bd-482e-930f-629491076356.epub2025-06-14T00:00:00+00:00Tree Line Books
