Set around the globe, sixteen adventurous stories weave fiction with reallife smarts, guts and oomph underpinning them. Quan shifts gears effortlessly from streetsmart colloquial voice to rapidfire monologue to bemused, exhilarated tone of immigrants new to Canada or to gay male culture.
With one foot in urban Canadian life and the other in the global village, Calendar Boy will hit home even as it makes you see the world in new ways.
