Jiggs, a hearing-impaired gay man tortured by the recent death of his parents, moves into a long-vacant San Francisco apartment. The apartment is revealed to be haunted by the Unfinished, spirits whose lives ended prematurely through tragedy, violence or betrayal. Jiggs's initially adversarial relationship with his spectral housemates soon becomes a partnership when both parties see each other as instrumental to ending their own suffering. The stories unfold via visitations by three Dickensian ghosts offering accounts of their deaths. In one story, a man dying from AIDS confronts the limits of his vanity when he realizes the terrible price of his wish to recapture his looks. In another, a car mechanic's soul is left to ponder how his weakness led to his murder. Laws' second and final novel was published posthumously in 1993. This 2019 edition includes an introduction by Sasha Alyson, founder of the celebrated LGBT press Alyson Publications as well as a foreword by Greg Herren. Bonus content! Laws's short story, Imagined, is also included in this edition. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
