Dang, Hayes knows how to tell a story. Really powerful wriitng that gets inside you and leaves you exhausted if you have even a shred of human empathy. A gay book that talks about a world away from gay ghettoes, reminding us that Chelsea and the Castro don't reflect the lives of so many many gay

people. I want to tell you which of the stories was best, but I really loved them all. Find it, buy it, and read it.
