Jaffe's collection of boundary-breaking and strangely intriguing short stories.... brilliant ... sensual and hilarious queer stories ... challenging conventional beliefs." -Foluso Falaye, Los Angeles Book Review"These are entertaining stories ... addressing issues of queer aging, community, and the hilarious societal responsibilities of being a 'sex angel.'
