Why read it?
1 author picked The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is probably the single most praised underground gay novel of my generation, and deservedly so. It’s so many things—beautiful writing, an old west setting in all its ugliness and adventure and hope, and a highly original narrative voice in the bisexual native orphan, Shed, who is being raised in a bordello.

Spanbauer has helped me to write more skillfully…
From Trebor's list on erotic themes that are imaginative and insightful.
