Synopsis
Lambda Literary Award-winner and two-time recipient of the Ferro-Grumley Award for his novels A Horse Named Sorrow and Through It Came Bright Colors, Trebor Healey's latest short stories confront the dangers of populism and the growing world refugee crisis. Predominately set in Latin America and the western U.S., these tales confront immigration and cultural upheaval, history, politics, and the profound displacement of modern lives. From a fantastical contemporary reworking of the political life of Evita Peron, reimagined with a gay man in the starring role, to the story of an abandoned building full of ghosts in the center of Mexico City and a love affair straddling the U.S.-Mexico border, these stories engage the imagination and suggest other ways of seeing in a world overburdened by history. These are stories of hard-won redemption and transformation - a widower who finds meaning adopting refugee children, a painter who in losing everything reconnects to his son, a nun victimized and haunted by state terror, and a peripatetic gay man who in utter despair and fatigue finally comes home to bond with his dying father. In Healey's skilled hands, there is a flicker of hope in the hopeless, a way forward in the pathless wood, and a bridge - even though it be rickety and swaying - across even the most harrowing chasm.
"Trebor Healey has shown us in these utterly original stories how the English-speaking part of the Americas confronts the Spanish-speaking part. In The Orchid, he has written a masterful exploration of the inner politics of Argentina. This is a wise, brilliant story that will be read for many years to come!"--Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story
