    Boy Meets Boy Boy Meets Boy

     
    Edited By Lawrence Schimel

    From the dates-from-hell to love-at-first-sight, Boy Meets Boy is the ultimate rumination about romance, dating, and/or sex for the modern gay man. This collection of observations, anecdotes, essays, wishful thinking, and out-and-out lies celebrates and bemoans all the experiences that collectively compose that mixed blessing called "dating."

    Ranging in tone from cute and romantic to bitchy and hilarious, Boy Meets Boy is touching, amusing, heartwarming, and laugh-out-loud funny as it memorializes (and viciously mocks) the absurd situations, embarrassing moments, and the (all too rare) limerance that occurs when... well... boy meets boy.

    Lawrence Schimel is author/editor of nearly thirty books including The Mammoth Book of Gay Erotica and PoMoSexuals: Challenging Assumptions About Gender and Sexuality (with Carol Queen). He divides his time between his native New York City and Madrid.
