"Glave is a gifted stylist . . . blessed with ambition, his own voice and an impressive willingness to dissect how individuals actually think and behave."--"The New York Times Book Review" Thomas Glave, known for his stylistic brio, expands and deepens his lyrical experimentation in stories that focus--explicitly and allegorically--on the horrors of despotic dictatorships, terror, anti-gay violence, the weight of memory, secret fetishes, erotic longing, desire, and intimacy.Thomas Glave is the author of "Whose Song? and Other Stories," the essay collection "Words to Our Now: Imagination and Dissent" (winner of a 2005 Lambda Literary Award), and is editor of the anthology "Our Caribbean: A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles." He is the 2008-2009 Martin Luther King Jr. Visiting Professor in the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
