Praise for the “Inky Flesh” stories:
“Sex is everywhere in ‘Inky Flesh’: stairwells, rest stops, snow storms, college campuses. But, after entering the world of lust, we are often ambushed by the unexpected: emotions, memories, longings, and ideas. ‘Inky Flesh’ is not just smart sex writing, it is wonderful writing. The author asks: ‘The question is simple: does the sexual word get the body off or does it turn the mind on?’ The answer in ‘Inky Flesh’ is simple—one cannot exist without the other. Be prepared—these stories stir the body and mind in wonderful and surprising ways.”—from noted author Michael Bronski
“Beautifully articulated and searingly honest, these stories make an authoritative argument for realism in gay fiction, which has become increasingly rarified. Isola packs his compelling narratives full of insights, eroticism, and the downright strangeness of ordinary life.”—from noted author Felice Picano
