This is a collection of all his short stories put together after his work went out of print sometime after his death in 1988. I don't mind short stories, but I prefer immersing myself in a novel to the start-stop of a writing collection. But with this work all the pieces shared a voice, were more like different tales from the same life, so there was a more seamless flow. The writing was some of the best, at least the best male writing, I've read recently. The only thing I question is the whole "gay fiction" tag. The only gay aspect of the work was the author's personal sexual preference, which if the biographical tone of the pieces is anything to go by, was not set in stone. The stories themselves deal with family & friend relationships as well as sexual or romantic ones, of which some were not homosexual & even the stories relating to those which were dealt with issues & feelings not unique to gay relationships. I can see that the tag of "gay fiction" could be relevant in some contexts, but to categorise this & no doubt other work without true reason could exclude or deter people from enjoying what was, in my opinion, a beautiful literary voice.

The Wild Creatures brings together all the stories of Sam D?Allesandro, a young voice whose life was tragically snuffed out at age 31 at the height of the AIDS epidemic in 1988. This new collection includes all of D?Allesandro's published stories (including those first collected in the out-of-print cult classic The Zombie Pit) as well as unpublished stories found among D?Allesandro's papers years after his death by his editor, the poet and novelist Kevin Killian, who worked with the literary estate to create this extended edition of his writing. The Wild Creatures explores a strange terrain of urban legend, the power of sexual obsession, and the thin line where the too-cool becomes the too-hot. Sam D?Allesandro's focused, vivid writing is the stuff of legend: writing so powerful it drags the reader in by the neck. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
