Unflinchingly, he explores the possibilities of a gay ­perspective while exploding the assumptions of a straight alphabet. A Few \u003cbr\u003eSharp Sticks will be a different book for every reader...'\" - STUART ROSS, author of Snowball, Dragonfly, Jew\u003cp\u003e\"...here are twenty-six sharp sticks, riffs on sentences from a law book on voluntary associations, each begetting its (lower-case) companion, together generating a loose set of not-quite-voluntary associations, little time-bombs...
