Description

Sky Gilbert boldly challenges the boundaries of gay politics and politically correct intellectualism in St. Stephen's, an intriguing and sexually charged story of a university professor's trysts with his younger male students. Never afraid to confront even the most taboo of taboos, Gilbert sets his novel in a conservative, small town university, allowing him the platform he needs to bring the difficult subject matter to the fore.
