Summary:
In a series of linked stories, Kispert explores deception, performance, and the uneasiness of reconciling a queer identity with the wider world. His characters try to navigate that dissonance by acting like another person for someone else. Throughout the collection we meet gay characters who have created sometimes elaborate falsehoods and who now must cope with the way that those deceptions eat at the very fabric of their lives and relationships. They are characters searching for paths to intimacy and attempting to deal with their own vulnerability. adapted from publisher info
