Depending On The Light

by Thea Hillman

Depending on the Light contains 64 short works of smart sophisticated sudden fiction that erupt from a core of sharp urban observations. Her language is at once insightful yet pointed, her voice clear and urgent. Gritty compassion and wry humor permeate these short short stories, and Hillman's insatiable lust for life is everywhere evident.

I love each of these pieces - powerful punches in the heart. The rhythm, language, imagery and emotion take you on a wild ride of queer adventure in San Francisco and Boston. Love this book!
