And it’s a mecca for gay men and the women who love them. Sue Kaufman Prize-winning author Michael Carroll knows the territory intimately. His stories wind in and out of the bars and guesthouses and lives of this singular paradise.

Il volume raccoglie 19 racconti e un poemetto in versi. Cinque sono apparsi nella piccola raccolta "I colpi dei sensi" (Fahrenheit 451, Roma 1993).
