Kentuckiana, And A Dash Of Cambodia: A Collection Of Short Stories, Brodie Lee Gress

Gay identity plays a role in many of these stories, and other themes explored include family, region, socioeconomics, gender, mentality, and change.

Each piece aims to dismantle and explode the metaphorical significations of symmetry through the use of interdisciplinary research combined with memoir.
