About this Item

Brotherhood is going to the dogs. You're your own man, Jake Barnes tells himself upon arrival at his father's isolated cabin in the Oregon woods. You are yourself. But in the strange world of One of These Things Is Not Like the Other, manhood and self are not so easily understood. Or trusted. Quadruplet brothers. Raised in rural seclusion by their identical, namesake father. Now in their twenties, the Jake Barnes brothers are shocked by their father s sudden suicide. More surprises come in the video he leaves behind, announcing that one of them is an unrelated outsider, and daring his sons to uncover the truth of their birth. From across the U.S. the brothers converge to find a woman who may be their mother, but twisted lust, murderous secrets, and shifting identities threaten their lives along the way. One of These Things Is Not Like the Other is the winner of the 2005 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Men's Fiction. 184 pages.
