Produktbeschreibung

[Previously published as "My Sister's Voice: Short Stories by a Bajan Buller Man Volume 1"] Despite the fact that many countries are legalizing same sex marriages, Barbados still has on the statute books Chapter 154, Section 9 of its Sexual Offences Act which criminalises buggery. Members of the Gender and Sexual Minority (GSM) community, have been objects of derision, verbal and physical attacks and discrimination. One place where the GSM community can find some solace and reprieve is in literature that is accessible to a variety of readers. In this debut collection of short stories, award-winning writer, Martin Boyce, explores the struggle between private and public selves, writing as a sexual minority from the Caribbean island of Barbados. Bold, brooding and humorous are these often lyrical soliloquies which extend past superficial musings into the realm of honest revelations, including urgent, universal social commentaries about fighting approval addiction to find peace through self-acceptance.
