From Google Books:
A collection of nine stories & one novella by Lawrence Kinsman--represent a highly varied sampling of contemporary gay fiction in the tradition recently established by David Leavitt & Adam Mars-Jones. The beautifully controlled prose, at times minimalist & at other times richly layered, is both witty & accessible. Between these covers, readers will encounter gay men--& even a gay woman--dealing with their lovers, their families, their jobs, as well as the social & moral chaos of the world at large. The settings range from shabby apartments to five-star hotels, from Boston to Berlin. The dramatic & sometimes hilarious scenarios range from a Carveresque tale of a New Hampshire teenager stumbling into his first homoerotic love affair with a handsome construction worker who lives across the hall, to an elegant epistolary tale in which a 19th-century Russian aristocrat writes a tortured plea to his spiritual advisor on the eve of his arranged marriage to a young woman he does not love. The novelist Eugene Garber has observed that, for these characters, "love enters through the wound of sex...yet it is never unclear that the consummation to be desired is love." Garber concludes his assessment by warning readers that "WATER FROM THE MOON, for all its youth & opulent sensuality, is a disciplined discourse on the wisdom of the heart."
