In Close to Spider Manâwhich won a Danuta Gleed Literary Awardâreaders were introduced to the crystalline storytelling voice of Ivan Coyote. The talent evident in that first collection is confirmed with One Manâs Trash, a series of connected stories about being queer, searching out new frontiers, and being on the road.
The characters in One Manâs Trash make evident the child in all of us, when heroes and superheroes won the day.
Including the hilarious account of an attempted lesbian wedding in a Las Vegas chapel, and a touching tale of being beguiled by an uncleâs independent-minded girlfriend, these are stories about being on the road: to the northern tundra or the southern desert, through cities and towns, on horses, in trucks and vans, with friends, family, and lovers. In achingly personal tones, Ivan Coyote paints beautiful and honest portraits of life, the road, and the spirits within.
Praise for Close to Spider Man:
"Blissfully rich . . . [a] thoroughly entertaining . . . surefooted, humorous take on misfit love and familial solidarity."âPublishers Weekly
"Coyoteâs debut short story collection is powerful. . . . These stories consistently detail the pain of being mis-understood, of living and trying to love where one doesnât fit in, and doesnât want to. Their beauty is in the sheer emotion they provoke."âLambda Book Report
Ivan E. Coyote is a Vancouver writer and performer who first came to attention as a member of Taste This, who collaborated on the award-winning book Boys Like Her.
