One spring evening, Tim Grey became restless... A lonely professor living on a rural Indiana farm...a good-looking young man on a motorcycle... An unexpected obsession...dark, dangerous, sensual...and spiraling out of control... A haunting, evocative reimagining of the myth of Narcissus... John Stewart Wynne was nominated for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Fiction for his novel The Red Shoes. As an audio book producer, he was also nominated for a Grammy Award. His writing has been praised by, among others, National Book Award winner Paul Monette, American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Award recipient Hubert Selby, Jr., and Lambda Literary Award winner Rebecca Brown. Praise for John Stewart Wynne's short fiction: The Other World "Wynne's perspective is dark and terrifying, and is made all the more so by his stark, vivid descriptions of contorted states of mind, and, strangely, by his beautiful, at times lyrical language." --- The James White Review "Wynne's prose is chiseled and precise. And in pages that tremble with beauty, Wynne gracefully reveals the darker side of human possibilities." --- Details Magazine The Sighting "John Wynne is obviously an exciting talent..." --- Hubert Selby, Jr. "There is nothing else quite like it for no other writer has experimented with gay experience in the context of growing up in straight America in such a direct, sensual and imaginative manner." --- Gordon Montador, The Body Politic
