Fresh Men 2: New Voices in Gay Fiction (v. 2) Review
I read a lot of these collections having followed the Men On Men series Penguin did for years. I read the first of these and wasn't all that gung ho for it, but it didn't really deter me from trying this one out. This one is better than the first one, there is a story here and there that just doesn't work, as there are with most collections, but the majority of these stories are well done and many of these writers have or should be well on their way to full fledged novels by now. It is a good way to test out new writers to decide if you will like their stuff before committing to a full novel.
Fresh Men 2: New Voices in Gay Fiction (v. 2) Overview
Fresh Men 2 collects the best new writing by emerging gay authors from around the nation. With equal parts sensitivity and irreverence, the anthology speaks to the broad range of gay experiences. From stories of coming out, coming of age, self-representation and family to sex and love in the time of AIDS, from living in the closet to loving in a post-gay world, this book highlights the complexities of gay life. Fresh Men 2 is a groundbreaking collection that also embodies a wide spectrum of literary tastes, from works rich in experimental, transgressive elements to more conventional, traditionally crafted stories.
