Additional information
by Joe Ashby Porter (Author)
With All Aboard acclaimed fiction writer Joe Ashby Porter ventures into new, sometimes unprecedented territory, from the luxe restraint of Merrymount through the stops-out eroticism of Pending, and the distilled heebie-jeebies of Dream On. Here reading, travel, and sexual orientation (and disorientation) loom larger than before in Porter, and the dialogue gives new play for what Harry Mathews has called Porter's golden ear. The whole collection unfolds as does each component, laying track just ahead of the speeding train of thought.
