From Publishers Weekly:
Stambolian's second anthology of gay fiction, representing 18 writers, reveals a broad range of subjects and settings: a gay man reflects on his pained relations with his father in Gary Glickman's moving and graceful "Magic"; Joseph Pintauro's "Jungle Dove" focuses on straight male prisoners coerced into sex with each other; a married, bisexual schools superintendent narrates Allan Gurganus's "Adult Art." Sadly but inevitably, AIDS, along with New York City's gay community, is central to many stories, among the best of which are "Solidarity," a previously unpublished work by Albert Innaurato, and Christopher Davis's "The Boys in the Bars." Yet Stambolian's promise of mainstream appeal is unlikely. The collective misogyny is offensive and the literary merit of perhaps a third of these pieces is insufficient to command the attention of readers without ties to gay culture.
