    About this ebook

    Luke Hartwell's three acclaimed short stories, hitherto published individually, appear here in one volume. "Jimmy," "Michael," and "Nothing Strikes Back" showcase Hartwell's ability to create characters then get inside their head and relate their stories in a voice so accurate you will swear the character is writing the story. "Jimmy" has been compared to "Brokeback Mountain" for its sparse prose and simple power. "Michael" has been called one of the funniest pieces to appear in the gay literary canon. "Nothing Strikes Back" is a newer piece dealing with a controversial subject. Together, these stories are a satisfying testament to Hartwell's peculiarly engaging style.
