Description
Spare and incisive, these stories present a voyeuristic glimpse into imperfect lives rooted in philosophies and deities, imbued with love, humour, and irony. Davey Bryant is an aging gay man who, while his lover sleeps, embarks on electronic odysseys with strangers surfing the Internet--from a lonely widow, to a cross-dressing naval officer, to a thirteen-year-old vegetarian--each of whom relate intensely personal (and at times hilarious) stories of passion and betrayal. Hunting With Diana is a witty and smart romp through the past and present.
