Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex, a new collection of short stories by Jameson Currier, is now available from Green Candy Press.
(PRWEB) May 10, 2004--Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex, a new collection of short stories by Jameson Currier, is now available from Green Candy Press.
The first collection of short fiction in more than a decade from the author of Where the Rainbow Ends and Dancing on the Moon, Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex brings together nineteen stories by Jameson Currier-including six never-before-published works as well as the author's widely praised fiction and erotica previously published in literary journals, Web sites, and award-winning anthologies such as Best Gay Erotica, Best American Erotica, Boyfriends from Hell, and Men on Men. In this new collection, the author meticulously details the search for love, romance, and partnership between gay men.
"Jameson Currier writes sex stories with real people in them. He is curious about a remarkable variety of men, and the sex here opens the door into surprising moments of sorrow, tenderness, joy, and even hope." --Christopher Bram, novelist
"Jameson Currier is a literary rara avis, a topflight American short story writer who treads where he pleases, and doesn't acknowledge genre boundaries. At its best, his work-particularly his erotica-is filtered through an exquisite poetic sensibility, and a prism of humanity that lifts the story above and away from anything as pedestrian as a genre, and into the realm of fine literature." --Michael Rowe, author of Looking for Brothers and Other Men's Sons
"Jameson Currier is one of my favorite writers, and this collection is an excellent example of why. His stories touch the heart and move the soul." --Greg Herren, author of Bourbon Street Blues and Jackson Square Jazz; editor of Shadows of the Night
"In his new collection, Jameson Currier reasserts himself as one of our preeminent masters of the short narrative form. In these lapidary tales, he computes the inscrutable calculus of desire with uncanny accuracy. There is such precision in both the foreground and background details of each tale that the effect is often unnerving. This is not a microscope that Currier presents to you, dear reader; it is a mirror. And objects in mirror are closer than they appear." --Thomas L. Long, editor-in-chief, Harrington Gay Men's Fiction Quarterly
"Jameson Currier is a master of everyday eros-that is, he perfectly captures in strong, handsome prose, the complete range of erotic moments shared between real men in real time in the real world, a feat in writing as refreshing and rare as it is arousing. And Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex is the proof." --Ian Philips, author of Satyriasis and See Dick Deconstruct
"Jameson Currier knows men-apparently, all of them. Brimming with humor and gentle pathos, Currier's new book is a carnival of men's endlessly entertaining urges, obsessions, tactics, and ploys." --Stephen Greco, author of The Sperm Engine
"Jameson Currier's lyrical stories wake the heart as well as the flesh - he understands the irrational complexities of human desire, and moves beyond the simple mechanics of sex to also explore the emotional and spiritual aspects of two people connecting through love or lust or any other passionate feeling." --Lawrence Schimel, editor of The Mammoth Book of Gay Erotica; author of Vacation in Ibiza
"Currier is adept at drawing a fine line between the erotic and the tragic, and at telling stories that 'although personal, are also the stories of our community.'" --Erik Burns, The New York Times Book Review
"Jameson Currier's kind of fiction can recreate reality more accurately than a cinema verité account of our daily lives" --Abraham Verghese, The Washington Post Book World
