Gay-lit reviewer David R. Gillespie singles out "Wounded" for praise.
[NOTE: The entire review was slated to run in _Lambda Book Report,_ which ceased publication in mid-2005 before it could appear in print. Subsequently, Richard Labonte ran the entire review in the his online column, "Books To Watch Out For/Gay Men's Edition" in late 2005.] |
"Quite possibly the most moving piece in Best Gay Erotica 04 is ³Wounded,² by Bill Brent. This is definitely a literary effort before anything else, and a successful one at that. Strong passages of inner thought are interspersed with erotic encounters that serve to illustrate the
³woundedness² of either the participants or the world in general. Whether the ruminations and sexual encounters are in fact biographical or simply the creations of a powerful mind is really not important. What is important is that the story is moving, disturbing, and seductive - and that¹s a good thing."
