{"product_id":"contemporary-gay-romances-felice-picano-9781602826397","title":"Contemporary Gay Romances: Tragic, Mystic, Comic \u0026 Horrific","description":"Contemporary Gay Romances is the third collection of short fiction by legendary novelist and memoirist, Felice Picano (The Lure, Like People in History, Ambidextrous). It is also his most diverse in terms of the times, places, themes, characters and situations he writes about. Filled with the unexpected, the true, and the amazing, Contemporary Gay Romances moves with ease from gas-lit, upper class London, to a future, climate-altered Bay Area; from semi-rural Florida to Southern California beaches, to an extrasolar planet where people have surprising existences. His characters range from ordinary American suburban housewives to extraordinary children, from grieving young geologists and memory-haunted middle aged men, to British Midlands soccer stars and 22nd Century war heroes. Picano subtitled this collection of stylish, unique, and moving works \"Tragic, Comic, Mystic \u0026amp; Horrific,\" and they are all that and more. The ten tales include prize winners as well as stories published here for the first time, and are as different from any standard \"romances\" as you can get, but they will linger in the mind and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Felice Picano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602826390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602826397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Strokes Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Felice Picano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984525656319,"sku":"9781602826397","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43b7c81a-3441-4bd8-a511-9bb39a363374.jpg?v=1683272810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-gay-romances-felice-picano-9781602826397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
