Tell Me: Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780810147300)

Queer stories about love, loneliness, the surreal, and the self

The stories in Tell Me feature queer men of various ages reckoning with loneliness, selfishness, and the struggle for self-discovery and identity. In "The Vanisher," a young bisexual man struggling with his own desire to be seen receives a bandana that allows him to become invisible. In "Retreat," a widower travels to an artists' colony to seek an audience with his recently deceased husband. And in "We Are Rendered Silent," people lose their ability to speak when a man they love dies. Through Baumann's inventive employment of the strange and surreal, these stories set out to explore the bizarre and often confounding experience of navigating modern-day queerness. With his unique voice and magnificent imagination, Baumann fully immerses readers in the queer experience.
