The Medicine Burns by Adam Klein
3.0
This is a great collection of short stories about men who are "different" - who, above and beyond their position in the LGBTQ community, have other attributes that make them uncomfortable, sometimes even unacceptable, to society.
The voice of each short story was unique, a different read each time. Some of the stories were hard to read, other pierced my heart as I could understand their pain. And therein the wonder in celebrating diversity: we celebrate not only our differences, but also our sameness.
This can be a seminal work in LGBTQ fiction, but also a powerful work in all categories, comparable to other great short story collections.
