The Body and Its Dangers and Other Stories by Allen Barnett

A collection of stories about the modern condition of gay men -- unrelentingly stark, beautifully written and completely honest. Winner of the Lambda Literary Award and a special mention by the PEN/Ernest Hemingway Award Committee.

"I was very impressed with the quality of writing in this book, and the extraordinary compassion of the author that is evident even in the less likeable characters. The metaphors in the book are richly woven into the stories, especially the two dealing with the friends from the Jesuit college whose lives are profoundly affected by their relationships. I hope this book gets a wider reading public than gay men as several themes explored in the book- illness, breast cancer, finding the father figure, sexuality and sensuality, loss of traditional spirituality- are issues facing many men and women in society. I was distressed to learn that Mr Barnett himself had died of AIDS shortly after the book was published. He was a very gifted writer of perception and depth, and I mourn this loss to the literary world." -- Michael Stuart
