Best Gay Stories 2008 Review



Berman, Steve, editor. "Best Gay Stories, 2008". Lethe Press, 2008.

Some of the Best

Amos Lassen

Sometimes it is easier to read "the best" when they are all assembled in one volume and that is just what Steve Berman has done in what he hopes will become the first of a series that takes into the best writing that the gay world has to offer.
The stories in "Best Gay Stories, 2008" touch on all of the issues in gay life and include selections from the very finest gay authors including Jameson Currier, Erastes, Greg Herren, David Leviathan, Jeff Mann and Ethan Mordden among others. There are twenty stories and each has something valuable to sat. The selections are varied giving us a cross-section of gay life and I found the stories to be enlightening, entertaining and though provoking.
Berman's new baby, Lethe Press, is a wonderful addition to gay literature and he brings us quite a group of writers. It is so good to have him reprinting some of the best of gay literature by authors who lost their publishing houses when they were closed or sold. If this book is a glimpse at what is to come, we are very lucky.
