Storytelling can be a way of spinning straw into gold, of showing ourselves we have drawn a long straw in this life. A finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Best LGBT Anthology, Charmed Lives offers readers a collection of over thirty short works of fiction and personal essays as an alternative to the stories that society often tells about gay men. Some are whimsical with a touch of enchantment, some profoundly spiritual, others romantic--all offer insight into modern gay life that will inspire and shed light on the grace of being gay with tales of hope against adversity and love over loneliness.
