Homo-Work - Paperback

by Wynward H. Oliver (Author)

Homo-Work is a laugh-out-loud, loud-and-proud, lewd-and-literate joyride!

This fearless memoir is equal parts Broadway musical treasure hunt, masturbation manifesto, pop culture extravaganza, coming out comedy of errors, anonymous sex fest, mystical mind-bender, gay love story, dysfunctional family drama, Queer culture chronicle, and high-camp tour de force.

In his intriguingly weird and irresistibly witty confessional, meet Wynward Hextor Oliver, a mixed-up, middle-aged Mexican-Syrian homosexual born with hexadactyly, which means he has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. An admitted oddball and jack-off of all trades, this failed actor, former floral designer, and retired college teacher comes to grips with his sex-crazed, checkered past.

Meanwhile, Wynward's present life is going to hell in a hand job.

Join Wyn on his hedonistic, hysterical, heartfelt journey, wherever his mind and his member lead him; as he learns how to jerk off with his boyhood playmate, grows ravenous for phone sex and poppers, then haunts the restrooms, beaches, bathhouses, and gay discos of Los Angeles during the height of the AIDS crisis.

As Wynward writes, "If you're not going full out with your fetishes, why bother?"

Chronic masturbating and manhunting soon meet metaphysics, however, when his parents catch young Wynnie spying on their lovemaking, a random hookup on his sixteenth birthday turns into a night of terror and transformation, and his husband of twenty-four years nearly dies in his arms-twice.

Come for the smut, stay for the stories! Ranging from the pervy to the pithy, these well-told tales of a wild gay life well lived will enthrall and deeply move every reader.

Consider Homo-Work your literary glory hole, where what awaits you on the other side of each page will either have you on your knees begging for more or leave you weak-kneed from heady gratification.

Whether he's being irreverent or insightful, Wynward H. Oliver's blend of authenticity, art, and artifice will become your new favorite way to self-pleasure.

(Your support of the glorious diversity of Queer indie authors encourages these creative, impassioned voices to continue telling their stories; which, of course, are our stories. Thank you.)
