M2M: New Literary Fiction
Lambda Literary Award Finalist
M2M:
New Literary Fiction is an evocative and compelling new anthology
brimming with exciting writers beginning to make their mark on the publishing
landscape along with some of the most venerated, best-selling literary
voices of our era. These short stories span a wide range of literary experiences.
This stimulating and provocative collection of short fiction is edited by Karl Woelz, Lambda Literary Award-winning co-editor of the now defunct Men On Men anthologies begun in the 1980s by the late George Stambolian.
In his challenging and persuasive Afterword, editor Woelz assesses in eloquent and riveting prose the "state of gay literature" in the United States today. He takes to task those he considers responsible for both the disturbing state of gay literary publishing and the plight of independent booksellers, and suggests a way each of us might contribute to changing things.
