Anotace knihy

Set in the Mexican-American community of East LA, Trebor Healey's Faun is an urban fantasy, a new fairy tale about pagan earth spirit, lust and faith, Los Angeles and history. As Gilberto Rubio enters puberty, he finds his body transforming, but not in the same way as his classmates. He is alarmed by the emergence of horn nubs, extreme hair growth on his legs, and the warping of his feet into hooves, to say nothing of how he's making everyone around him horny. His Catholic mother fears for his eternal soul and falls under the sway of that most nefarious of fixers, the exorcist. Meanwhile online, Gilberto grows desperate and encounters an odd wise man who hints of satyrs and centaurs. And so begins the next phase of his journey of discovery and self-acceptance. Sexy, funny, and spell-binding, Faun is a tale quite unlike any other and offers Healey's lyrical, witty and thoughtful prose in the service of mythology, antiquity and earth sexuality - all in the guise of comic misadventure.

Trebor Healey is a Lambda Literary Award winner and a two-time recipient of the Ferro-Grumley Award. His second novel, Faun was originally published in 2012. He has written three novels, three collections of short stories, a book of poetry and numerous essays on the queer experience, often through a Catholic lens. His first novel, Through It Came Bright Colors, and two collections of short stories - A Perfect Scar and Eros & Dust - are also available from ReQueered Tales.

"Both strikingly beautiful and coarsely humorous, this engaging novel by urban fantasist Trebor Healey, anchored in the sensibilities of the West Coast Mexican-American community, gives the modern bildungsroman a magical twist." - Publishers Weekly

"Trebor Healey pulls down the pants of urban fantasy to reveal something entirely new." - Tom Cardamone, Green Thumb

"This magical tale about a boy unexpectedly turning into a faun is funny, poignant and erotic. Faun offers a wise meditation on our relationship to the earth as well as each other - and to our sexuality, which is the 'greenest' part of us all." - Mark Thompson, Advocate Days
