Fresh Men 2: New Voices in Gay Fiction »

Donald Weise is the editor of Fresh Men and a Senior Editor at Carroll & Graf Publishers, where he publishes a new line of gay and lesbian books. He has edited books such as Gore Vidal’s Los Angeles Times bestseller Gore Vidal: Sexually Speaking and the Lambda Award-winning titles Black Like Us: A Century of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual African American Fiction and Time on Two Crosses: The Collected Writings of Bayard Rustin. In addition to sitting on the board of the Lambda Literary Foundation, Don co-chairs the Publishing Triangle, an organization committed to the promotion of lesbian and gay literature.

Fresh Men 2 collects the best new writing by emerging gay authors from around the nation. With equal parts sensitivity and irreverence, the anthology speaks to the broad range of gay experiences. From stories of coming out, coming of age, self-representation and family to sex and love in the time of AIDS, from living in the closet to loving in a post-gay world, this book highlights the complexities of gay life. Fresh Men 2 is a groundbreaking collection that also embodies a wide spectrum of literary tastes, from works rich in experimental, transgressive elements to more conventional, traditionally crafted stories.
