Résumé
Groundbreaking Gay Literary Classic Finally Available Again! Selected by Ian Young as one of the seminal works of gay literature in his THE MALE HOMOSEXUAL IN LITERATURE: A BIBLIOGRAPHYPraised by such writers as Hubert Selby Jr., James Purdy, Yves Navarre, Charles Palliser, and Rita Mae Brown PRAISE FOR THE SIGHTING"I strongly urge anyone with an interest in gay fiction to read John Stewart Wynne's story THE SIGHTING.
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." (Gordon Montador/Body Politic)"THE SIGHTING is absorbingly disconcerting. The story's 1950s Midwest small town teenage setting-full of randy high school adolescents racing their jalopies to the local drive-in, whose coarse normality is contrasted with a sensitive youth's realization that he is attracted to other boys-is gradually invaded by elements from another realm of experience-or, 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." (Charles Palliser, author of the international bestseller THE QUINCUNX)ABOUT THE AUTHORJohn Stewart Wynne was nominated for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Fiction for his novel THE RED SHOES.
His book of short stories THE OTHER WORLD was named one of the best books of the decade by The James White Review. He is also a twice-Grammy-nominated producer of audio books. PRAISE FOR OTHER FICTION BY THE AUTHOR"I read this so fast I got blisters turning pages. THE RED SHOES is so astonishingly good, original, beautiful and amazing. I think it is a great work of art." (Kate Christensen, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Best American Work of Fiction Award)With so much tepid and sentimental fiction coming out, John Wynne's stories in THE OTHER WORLD 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." (Paul Monette, National Book Award winner)OTHER EBOOKS BY THE AUTHOROther ebook titles by the author, all of which are part of the Tree Line Story Book series: Louise, Don't GoNarcissistBlondsThe Needles HighwayA Night in the Pampas
