FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
A collection of characters trying to find themselves--and
a little peace in the process
A Perfect Scar & Other Stories
short fiction by Trebor Healey
Sublime short stories bound together by
folly, fate, and passion
A Perfect Scar and Other Stories is a whimsical, sly, and slightly crazy collection of short
stories from award-winning novelist, poet, and songwriter Trebor
Healey. These 11 tales cover a lot of ground, including AIDS, aging, death,
eroticism, tattoos, and multiculturalism--all told with humor, insight, and
Healey's
rich, lyrical touch. This sometimes poignant, sometimes erotic assortment of fauns,
punks, cowboy dykes, old men with swollen prostates, young men with criminal
records, and gangsters doomed by their own beauty and grace are bound together
by folly, fate, and passion in their search to find some semblance of peace in
the world.
"Shows
us men and women whose lives have been, or are about to be, forever
altered by love. . . . SHARP, EMPATHIC, AND UNFORGETTABLE.
"
--Bernard Cooper, author of The Bill From My Father
"Trebor Healey's writing is suffused with the purest
emotion, the bravest,
funniest tone, and the perfect balance of poetics, daring, and charm."
--Joy Nicholson, author of The Tribes of
Palos Verdes
