"Following the success of Oranges and Lemons (1987) and The Freezer Counter (1989), Third House Publishers are proud to present Fabulous Tricks, their third anthology of contemporary short stories by gay men. As before, the contributors include both well-known writers and talented newcomers, some of whom are having their work published for the first time. Like its best-selling predecessors, Fabulous Tricks offers a kaleidoscope of gay life, incorporating the timeless preoccupations of coming out, falling in love and searching for happiness, the challenges posed by AIDS and the other uncertainties of our pre-millennium world.
