"Gerald has been preparing to die. During the last of his three hospital stays, he has drawn up a last will and testament, a living will, assigned a health care proxy, and arranged his own cremation. He has thrown out hundreds of photos accrued over his twenty-five years as an actor, boxes of gay porn, all his journals, and acquired a hefty collection of barbiturates for when things got too 'icky.' Then, from out of nowhere, Gerald's health is revived by the new miracle drugs. His AIDS-related death is put on hold, while, at the same moment, William Weiss reenters his life. A brilliant director and his old boss, Weiss invites Gerald to perform in a play at the Palazzo d'Arte in Sicily. From the first rehearsal, Weiss nurtures the chaos in which he is most at home. Only a few close associates on the play are even aware that Gerald had been so close to dying, a secret he keeps guarded from his fellow actors. Sicily, the Italians, an unexpected romance, and his love of the theater reconnect Gerald with lost joy. Even as his health fails, he finds himself transformed by the ecstasy of everyday life.

Excerpt:
(Prologue)
Gerald was as well prepared for death as anyone could be. Over the winter, after the last of his three hospital stays and in an interval of relative health, he'd made a last will & testament, a living will, assigned a health care proxy and arranged his own cremation. He'd thrown out hundreds of eight by ten photos accrued over his twenty-five years as an actor, a tattered porno collection and all his journals. He'd acquired a hefty collection of barbiturates in case things got too 'icky.' His parents were dead, so they weren't a concern, and he'd stopped returning calls from well-meaning friends. Everyone really, except Barbara, who faithfully checked in on him or called every few days; if something happened, he didn't want to get left until the neighbors noticed a bad smell. Gerald was as ready to go as the dinner guest in coat and gloves standing at the open door.

'Unbreak my heart....' The electronic purr of a white noise machine failed to annul the noisy jukebox in the Irish bar downstairs. But it had been worse earlier, when the drunken bar patrons were having their three a.m. sing-along. That's when Gerald turned the machine on. At this hour, only the bartender remained, tallying up the evening's take.

Gerald lay on his bed without hope of falling back to sleep. What was today? He'd had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, was that yesterday? Oh. Today he had to go to one of those government places where poor people with jobs decide if poor people without jobs are eligible for assistance - food stamps, disability. He'd been putting it off. He had enough money to live - and nothing else - for a few months, but he'd be penniless by December if he didn't arrange some kind of cash flow. Another winter, with or without penury, was an ominous thought. In icy weather, he was more vulnerable to colds and flu which might, like last winter, turn into pneumonia and send him to the hospital.

Was today Friday? He could look on his beside table at his pill arranger, the one area of his life in which he was diligent. He didn't even believe the pills - part of a trial study by a pharmaceutical company - did anything. In fact, the study had a placebo arm, so his religious adherence to a three-times-a-day schedule might just be adding a daily tablespoon of sugar to his diet. And if he were getting the actual drugs? Friends who'd taken AZT or the massive doses of penicillin some quack in Brooklyn had prescribed, had just shifted from slow decline to downhill plummet. If it's a placebo I'll die, Gerald reasoned, and if it's the real stuff, I'll die quicker.

'So why do you take them if you don't think they're doing any good, Mr. Negative?' Barbara asked.
'Because I want to be part of the effort to find a cure, even if it kills me,' Gerald said.
'That's so noble, Sweetie.'

Gerald wanted to kill her. Barbara was a petite ingenue with a bright soprano range and a show biz dream when they'd met in college. Now she was an obese legal secretary, who still worked out weekly with a vocal coach, didn't audition and insisted that under Gerald's grim expectations, he clung to a fairytale hope that the pills just might work.

Thursday's compartments in the weekly pill arranger were empty, so today must be Friday. The bartender had gone home and the jukebox was quiet. Gerald turned the white noise machine off with his foot and sat at the folding card table he used as a - dining room table was too euphemistic - flat elevated surface to eat off. Among the unopened mail and dirty dishes was a recently excavated note left by the previous tenant that read, If the garbage downstairs starts to smell too bad, sprinkle perfume on the lamp bulb. Gerald must have kept the note because, at the time, he thought it grimly funny.

Gerald only intended to sublet the place for a few months. Now, eight years later, he knew he'd never leave the charmless mid-town studio, unless it was to go into one of those renovated S.R.O.'s turned AIDS homes - hospices really, considering the turnover. Friends told him he was crazy to live on Eighth Avenue, a block from Times Square. 'It's dangerous. You should be in the Village - or Chelsea! That's the new hot spot. Where you live is so seedy.' And sexy. Those same friends who disparaged his neighborhood, gorged themselves on his tales of tourist trysts: the Ohio husband who spent a steamy half hour in Gerald's apartment while his wife and children waited at the Marriott, the Harvard undergrad in town for a Dukakis convention, the pimply eighteen-year-old sailor, here for fleet week, who'd seen four Broadway musicals in three days. Sightseers, foreigners, conventioneers. In those days, Times Square meant sex, and the out-of-towner lingering outside Show World, or the businessman glancing nervously at his watch on Forty Second Street, were looking to get laid."

"In the zoo there are all kinds of animal families. But Tango's family is not like any of the others."

"'Antonio loves words, because words have the power to express feelings like love, pride, or hurt. Mother's Day is coming soon, and Antonio searches for the words to express his love for his mother and her partner, Leslie. But he's not sure what to do when his classmates make fun of Leslie, an artist, who towers over everyone and wears paint-splattered overalls. As Mother's Day approaches, Antonio must choose whether?or how?to express his connection to both of the special women in his life.'

Rigoberto Gonzalez's sensitive and lovingly crafted story of Antonio's dilemma will resonate with all children who have been faced with speaking up for themselves or for the people they love. The accompanying acrylic paintings by Cecilia Concepción Álvarez bring Antonio's story to life in tender, richly hued detail."

"Best Gay Erotica 2006 is a cornucopia of searing man-sex. From the languid, Bolero-paced striptease of a magnificently buff lover in James Williams's 'The End' to the fevered gropings of a skater boy and a pink-haired goth in 'DogBoy and the BetaGoth' by Nadyalec Hijazi and Ben Blackthorne, Best Gay Erotica holds something for every wicked taste. In Jeff Mann's 'Daddy Dave,' a lover awakens his gentle new partner's dominant side by letting him witness a master's skillful savagery. Steven Zeeland's 'Trouble Loves Me' maps a porn director's odyssey through a vivid underworld of bad boy marines, sailors, and submariners. Edited by Richard Labonte and selected and introduced by the inimitable Matt Bernstein Sycamore, Best Gay Erotica 2006 furthers the series' reputation for gorgeous storytelling and hot, no-holds-barred sex between men. The book also features an excerpt from Dennis Cooper's new novel The Sluts."

"Bolstered by national television exposure on Oprah and a cover story in the New York Times Magazine, the 'down low'-a term used to refer to 'straight' men who have sex with men-was thrust into the open in 2004. Keith Boykin, a former Clinton White House aide, goes beyond the hype with the first responsible, eye-opening look at the down low sensation. Unlike all previous accounts on the topic, Beyond the Down Low presents the DL not merely as a problem of gay and bisexual men living in the shadows, but more as an example of America's unwillingness to engage in critical but uncomfortable conversations about black sexuality. Boykin details how society has helped to create an environment where black gay and bisexual men feel compelled to lead double lives. Meanwhile, the dialogue that has taken place in the black community encourages an unhealthy battle of the sexes, ignores the complexity of the closet, demonizes bisexuality, disempowers women, and misdirects public resources and attention. This book is a timely and well researched answer to the question, 'Why are so many black men on the DL?' More importantly, it is an essential tool to pry open the closet door in black America.

Excerpt:
It seems to me the biggest problem with the down low in the black community is our unwillingness to talk candidly about sex. When it comes to sex, we've created a culture of lies. Women often lie to themselves about their men being gay. Men on the down low lie about having sex with men. Men who are infected lie about their HIV status. Gay men lie about their sexual interests. What makes us think people are going to suddenly start telling the truth when we start calling them dirty names?

The truth is we can't deal with the down low until we learn to deal with our hang-ups about sex. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen anytime soon. That's why we have to accept personal responsibility for our behavior. This is 2004 and we all know the deal. If you have unprotected sexual intercourse, you're putting yourself at risk. Period. For some reason, we in the black community just can't seem to stay focused about AIDS. First we denied it affected us. Then we ignored it because we thought it only affected a few of us. Next we preached morality because we thought it only affected the ones we didn't like. Then we dramatized it as we tried to figure out which secret laboratory developed it. At what point do we just deal with it?

AIDS is a huge problem in our community. It doesn't matter how we got here, we're here. It doesn't matter how anyone got it, they have it. It doesn't matter who's to blame. It matters how we respond to it. The big lie of the down low is not just the lie men tell their women. No, the big lie is the lie we tell ourselves-that it's somebody else's responsibility."
