One story is written from the second person, confronting readers directly with the power of seduction, the ambivalence of lingering passion. And then there's the poetry. All that fire, lust, hurt, and ache compressed into the language of verse. The Second Coming feeds the brain as well. The Second Coming presents a thorough challenge, daring the leatherdyke community and the general readership to grow, to take in new ideas, and to learn from our own diversity.
Several pieces explore just how great that diversity is.
The book makes it clear that the leatherdyke world is not all rosy and united in some kind of tribal utopia. Several essays carry on a dialogue with each other. Authors explore their own ambivalence, too. Hello, paradigm shift. We have already lost one of the contributors.
