Followers of gay men's fiction will be cheered to learn, from excerpts herein, that Philip Gambone and Norman Wong are working on first novels. Several might cheer because there are "more drag queens in this volume than in the last. Bergman says he is "not certain how to explain this phenomenon. As Billie Holiday sang, don't explain; those who liked this collection's predecessors won't be asking, just reading and enjoying. As Bergman (The Violet Quill Reader, 1994) admits in his introduction, Men on Men has become an institution, a bellwether of gay taste.

What a diverse collection! Like a candy box, some of them you savor, others you pry open with a finger and nibble, a few others you spit out with a "mleah!"
Bruce Morrow, Michael Villane, and especially JG Hayes' "Regular Flattop" win the hip awards. Craig McWhorter's "Silent Protest" is the most touching of all.
Patrick Ryan wins the Dennis Cooper/Edmund White Wannabe Award for his pretentious French corpse tale. Edmund White's contribution is almost a parody of his own travel-weary snobbery.
Oddly, the AIDS stories seem dated. The parenting stories are very touching, including Dave Tuller's, Provenzano's "Quality Time" and William Clark's "Quiet Game."
What I don't understand is how some other authors can claim to be short story writers when they're actually only sharing excerpts of their unfinished novels. What's amazing is how with few exceptions (those mentioned), some of these stories are well-crafted but passionless, as if cold reserve was the priority. Maybe it reflects how shell-shocked we are as a culture.

My brother lent me this book on my last trip home from college. I am a 19 year old straight grrl and let me tell you, this book about gay dudes was the best thing I had read all term. Truly demented stuff, but I loved it. The stories were funny and sexy and sometimes enough to make me squirm inside my skin. I liked the one about Madonna's evil drag queen posse, the one about the kid Sonny getting the tattoo from hell, and all the other wilde exposes of the strange quirkly demi-monde of gay life today. Having read this book, I feel like I've not only walked a mile in my brother's shoes, but I've treaded over the tricky territory of a whole world previously unfamiliar to me. This book is a Valentine in prose form.

The "Men On Men" series continues to be the best collections of stories by gay authors being published. This millenium edition is as good as any of the previous volumes. As always, there are terrific new writers-- some of them published for the first time here-- as well as the godfathers of gay lit. I suppose Edmund White and Jim Grimsley would fall into that category. The White and Grimsley selections I had read previously as they are chapters from novels. I remember thinking that White's novel THE MARRIED MAN was as good as anything he had ever written and that Grimsley's BOULEVARD wasn't up to his usual high standards. One exciting new writer here is J. G. Hayes, whose story "Regular Flattop" appeared in a collection of his short stories. His story is as up-to-date as 2005. The narrator, an eighteen-year-old South Boston lad, says about his father's coffin: "Dad's flowered, flagged (of course he's a veteran-- who do you think fights all these wars, we do) coffin does go down there. . ." This story resonates with life as the narrator kicks valiantly against the pricks to get away from his homophobic neighborhood. (You will care for him desperately.) "Quality Time" by Jim Provenzano is so good that I ordered his novel PINS from which this work is taken. He accomplishes in five pages what many writers cannot do in three or four hundred. He creates characters and situations that will break your heart. The narrator is a thirty-four-year old, divorced gay father spending some "quality time" with his son of fifteen, of whom of course he doesn't have custody: "And how is [his son's mother] a recovering alcoholic real estate divorcee. . . who still Suzanne Somers-tints her hair, any more normal than me, with my steady job, my dog, a home I rent, yes, but hey. At least I don't bleach my hair." There are other stories here about gay parents and the usual selection of AIDS stories. "The Universe, Concealed" by Richard McCann and "The Third Person" by David Groff are particularly good.

While there are no bad stories included here, some obviously are better than others. For the most part, however, you will not be disappointed in this diverse collection of 20 stories.

"For more than a decade, the acclaimed Men on Men books have showcased the very best in gay fiction. In stories that pushed back the boundaries and introduced talented new writers, these collections have transformed gay literature into something at once poignant and provocative, unique and universal. Now Men on Men 2000 ushers in the new century with twenty original tales that shimmer with all the emotion, humor, pathos, and drama of life. In "A Venice Story" Edmund White explores the ever-narrowing gulf between desire and death, while Jim Grimsley's "Boulevard" views desire through the perspective of pornography and tabloid news. "Ciccone Youths 1990" finds Bruce Morrow's lonely, ailing African-American protagonist entering a rollicking fantasy world populated by four drag queens and their ultimate heroine, Madonna. There are also stories by newcomers like David Tuller, whose "Sperm-and-Egg Tango" puts the friendship of a gay man and a lesbian to the test when they consider the possibility of parenthood. Patrick Ryan's "Second Island" chronicles an American traveler's obsession with a beautiful French hustler, and "Gold" is Alexander Chee's story of a young man of Korean and Argentinean descent who confronts both his mixed heritage and his evolving sexuality. Here, too, are timely variations on such topics as coming out, breaking up, sex and AIDS, growing up gay and ethnic, gay marriages, and gay men and fatherhood. In what may be the most diverse entry in this ever-evolving series, Men on Men 2000 celebrates what it means to be a gay man at the beginning of the new millennium." - abstract from Intermale

Some of the fresh new voices in gay lit are included here. Three particularly different in their approach to gay parenting. There's also an artistic tale of a murder in Paris, a compelling romance between street youth, and some othertopics beyond the usual coming out of AIDS-related themes. Won a Lambda Literary Award. The publisher should put out a new edition, but I hear that won't happen.
