Produktbeschreibung

Ne'er-do-wells, prodigal sons and young men without a clue to their present state of mind, let alone their futures, are waiting to be met within the stories of Daydreamers, Jonathan Harper's debut collection. But these men are no Walter Mittys. For them, everyday life is full of hidden meanings and supernatural coincidences. In these stories, two men clash over their participation in a body-modification ritual; a group of Dungeons & Dragons players find themselves unwelcome in an upscale resort; the discovery of a drowned corpse haunts a young man in a beach town. With precise and vulnerable prose, Daydreamers speaks to a new generation of hopefuls not usually found in contemporary queer fiction. "The search for security, and the longing to break free from it, roils the lives of young gay men in these wry, hopeful stories." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review! "Harper's collection brings to mind a movie of an Anne Tyler novel, if it were directed by David Lynch." - Andrew Holleran "A catalog of suburbia's petty desolations and meditations on lost chances; Harper makes for a keen archivist of his characters' flawed, unfinished manifestos." - Genevieve Valentine
