Odd Fellow's Rest

William Sterling Walker

4.9/5 (23109 ratings)

Description:A group of linked narratives about the gay demimonde in New Orleans before the flood, Odd Fellow's Rest is a debut book from a promising new talent. Circles of friends and acquaintances—lawyers and supermarket clerks, drifters, painters and musicians, cabaret singers and writers—alternately dominate the landscape and fade into the background. However they identify themselves, they speak a common language—funny, sexy, pithy, sometimes bitchy, and always on target. But perhaps the main character is the city itself. A litany of street names evoke New Orleans' visceral hold on these men; even when they are far away, the memory of the city haunts them. William Sterling Walker's vividly imagined creations embody the unquenchable spirit of place that would go on to survive unimaginable natural disasters, both physical and personal. Like the city, his characters are unforgettable in their boldness and fascination. A native of New Orleans, William Sterling Walker has had work published in Best American Gay Fiction and the Lambda Award–winning Fresh Men: New Voices in Gay Fiction. Walker holds an MFA in creative writing from Brooklyn College and resides in Brooklyn, New York.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
