Description
The sixteen stories in this collection surround queer men of various ages--teenagers, young adults, men in middle age--trying to temper their expectations of the world with their lived experience. Using the lens of the bizarre and fantastic, these stories explore discontent, discomfort, and discovery.
In "Melt With You," a twenty-something learns that his boyfriend can slip into walls, a trick that becomes a sticking point during tumultuous, challenging moments in their relationship; the main character in "Shearing" is a barber who can read the minds of his clients but must sacrifice his own bits of memory to do so; "There Won't Be Questions" features a young man who can summon lost animals to a shoebox, but suffers for it, both via physical illness and the crumbling of his relationship with his closest friend.
In the title story, the Garden of Eden starts to appear in various places around the world, and the narrator, looking down at the Trees of Life and Knowledge, must make an impossible decision regarding the most important relationship he's ever had.
