Meet his cast of characters:
New York designer Arnold, whose lovely life blossoms from age 7. We watch him grow famous then learn from the bumps of life.
A young priest who leaves uptight England to lose and find himself in Turkey.
Queenie, scarred from her time as a beautiful boy, meets young Tom, who loves the fact that she's a wreck.
A young Indian teacher meets an older London billionaire who's not yet out.
And the stunning finale is a gay version of Melville's classic Billy Budd, the tale of a beautiful doomed sailor.
"A ravishing collection, remarkably wide-ranging in subject, mood and tone, each story exquisitely crafted."
- Paul Russell, author of Immaculate Blue

Martin Goodman has published thirteen books, both fiction and nonfiction. His debut novel On Bended Knees, just re-released, was shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award, and his most recent one The Cellist of Dachau, takes music and the Holocaust as its themes. Nonfiction books, some award-winning, are about the sacred, fights to save the environment, and the history of medicine. Born in Leicester, he studied English at Leeds, took a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Lancaster, and is professor emeritus of creative writing at the University of Hull, and has broadcast widely as a BBC New Generation Thinker. He shares homes in Los Angeles, London and Lowestoft with his husband, the environmental lawyer, writer and Zen priest James Thornton.
"Such narrow, narrow confines we live in. Every so often, one of us primates escapes these dimensions, as Martin Goodman did. All we can do is rattle the bars and look after him as he runs into the hills. We wait for his letters home." – The Los Angeles Times
