Diverse and Enjoyable

This was a nice break from the usual gay fiction anthology, but some writers were familiar: best Stephen Beachy's "torque", David Dakar, Richard Schimpf and Jim Provenzano, whose collage style shows a haunting future. robert Patrick's "The War Over Jane Fonda" reveals family disagreements that lead to more. Some of the stories fulfill the goal of providing dissident voices (Provenzano's the strongest among that category) others are sweet in their prose stylings (Charles Derry's "Keeping Track"). the Jack-in-the-Box cover is odd, but what can you expect from those wacky Canadians!
