True to its tradition, Men on Men 2000 brings bright new literary talent together with established writers--such as Edmund White and Brian Bouldrey--to offer a poignant collection of gay fiction that is provocative and illuminating at every turn. This diverse group of voices etches an indelible portrait of gay life at the dawn of the twenty-first century, addressing issues such as identity and gender stereotypes, the power of love, the lingering shadow of AIDS, and the new adventure of fatherhood.
Amazon.com Review
The eighth installment of the popular Men on Men anthology series offers the usual fine mix of fiction from well-established and up-and-coming gay writers. Among the best-known names in Men on Men 2000 are Jim Grimsley and Edmund White--White is represented by an excerpt from his forthcoming novel, The Married Man. Other authors take on subjects ranging from fatherhood to the impact of AIDS. Despite the suggestive title, the emphasis in these stories is not on sex--oh, sure, it's there, but Men on Men is a lot closer in tone to Best American Gay Fiction than to Best Gay Erotica. --Regina Marler
