Interview : Editors of Soon To Be Launched Book “Close, Too Close”

Interview : Author, Vivek Shraya
I feel like everyday the book surprises me. Last year it was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award and was picked up by several post-secondary institutions as a text book. Consequently, the first run sold out in just a little over a year and I am currently getting ready for the release of the second edition which features a new story and illustration.

Book Review : The Reward by R. Singh
The best kind of books are the ones that make you want to write. The Reward by R.Singh does just that.
It starts off interestingly as the writer uses rich imagery to paint vivid pictures of his childhood. The writing here creates such strong impressions, that I shared his nostalgia, when he recollects his childhood memories towards the end of his life. It momentarily made me pine for some of my own childhood… a phase of my life that I like to think about, very little.

Hello! Presenting Gaysi Zine Vol. 1
I had once accompanied a very dear friend to a television talk show, and no, not the likes of Jerry Springer. While she went on yapping with the host and other guests of the show, I was left to kill time with the other “accompaniments” . Interestingly, one of them happened to be a palm reader. I know, I know….many of you consider this higher art form nothing but a money-making gimmick.
Book Review : Two Girls
Two Girls – It took me almost a year to get hold of this book. None of the libraries, even here in Queen’s land had the book but I eventually found it on Amazon and ordered it for less than three quid!
Book Review: Pink Sheep
If you are looking for a book with the typical dramatics usually associated with the narration of a gay story, this is not the book for you. The writing while subtle and restrained in emotional expression remains provocative enough to warrant some time just mulling over the situations represented in a very fluid manner.
