This Thing Called Courage by Jg Hayes
Gripping Stories Of City Boys And Men Living - And Dying - For Their Outsider Sexuality; Doing their best to come to grips with being gay in a heavily Irish-Catholic working-class community - known for its fierce loyalty and strong, traditional religious ethic, the boys and men in these stories are caught in the crossfire of traditional values, Irish tragedy, and the inevitable intrusion of diversity. The result of this lethal mix is occasionally comic, often tragic, sometimes redemptive and sometimes disastrous, but always compelling.
An extraordinary and beautifully written book- Karl Woelz, co-editor of Men on Men 2000; Authentically muscular storytelling. - Michael Lowenthal, author of The Same Embrace; An exciting, original new voice in American fiction. - Stephen McCauley, author of The Object of My Affection
J.G. Hayes, an ex-newspaperman, is a writer and landscaper living in the Boston area.
