My Achilles by Stanley Iyanu

My Achilles looks at the man behind the myth and explores both the strength and vulnerability in embracing all the sides of oneself: the complex and the ugly, the bold and the brilliant. With themes of love, hope and yearning, My Achilles aims to be not just a myth but a legend. So much about queer love and identity has been hidden between parentheses and what is not said. This pamphlet attempts to fill in those gaps, so that they are not destined to be repeated over and over.
