Winner of the Ferro-Grumley Award--twice!--author Trebor Healey's work thoroughly captures the poignant and erotic life of gay men. In Eros & Dust, his newest short story collection, Healey sets loose an unforgettable cast of characters. There’s the meth-addled youth bent on redemption by returning to New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a mischievous imp who finds himself emotionally drawn to his victims, and a circus clown fleeing his Mexican trapeze artist lover by escaping to Argentina. If that’s not enough, you’ll find an elusive faun of the Oaxacan highlands, a traveler expiring from dengue fever, and a revisionist Jack Kerouac, along with troubled chickenhawks and ambivalent lovers trying to work it out in chatrooms, Chile, a junkyard, and a puppet theater. "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls," said Pablo Picasso. Healey reminds us that we should then moisturize with daily helpings of lust and sensuality.
Eros and Dust Stories edition by Trebor Healey Literature Fiction eBooks
An excellent and diverse collection of short stories that engages in unusual ways. I could easily get pulled into one and only regret that it ended, but then another would hook you in a different way to ease that pain. Definitely some interesting worlds explored and some I would not have thought about - but most stimulating and provocative.Product details

Eros and Dust Stories edition by Trebor Healey Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This fascinating collection of stories brings themes that will be familiar to readers of Healey's novels; desire in Mexico and South America, erotic obsessions, the search for fauns, precarious sexual situations, and a bit of the supernatural. Three stories take on what could be unseemly themes of underage lust, or lust for the under-aged, if in less capable hands. Yet Healey manages to reveal the strange vulnerability in the most sordid of characters.
I picture three Trebor Healeys one poetic, one crazed with lust, and one shaggy with heat and dust. When all of them work in concert as they do in Healey’s novels A Horse Named Sorrow or Faun, their combined power is formidable. But the shorter pieces such as those found in his recent Lethe release, Eros and Dust Stories, reveal the strength of those beasts on a more individual level… Each voice is as distinctive in solo as it is an essential component of the blend. Truly a marvelous trick to pull off, and Trebor Healey does so.
Having read Trebor Healey previously, I was eager to read this work. Most of the short stories were engaging with the exception of IMP which was excruciating to try to read. I still can't get the bad taste out of my mouth. It seemed to me to be meandering and pointless and should definitely be left out of future editions.
Love it!
