Grappling with Desires: A Trilogy

By Pendleton Smythe

A trilogy of short stories about two men finding love -- the "love that dare not speak its name" -- in the world of professional wrestling, a long nomadic journey of one-night stands where the homoerotic and the homophobic plays itself inside the wrestling ring, and where in the most hostile and inhospitable of environments, men who have to "pass" in order to gain professional and social acceptance, could actually find true love and actually thrive in such a hostile environment.
