    <![CDATA[David Leavitt's reputation has rested upon stories and novels that explicate a sedate, upper-middle class world of reserved emotions and sexuality. In his new collection of three novellas <strong>Arkansas</strong>, he explores new territory. Droll, surprising, and very sexy, these works often shock and startle the reader. In &quot;The Term Paper Artist,&quot; a writer named David Leavitt writes school papers for cute undergraduates in exchange for sexual favors, and in &quot;Saturn Street.&quot; a gay man who delivers lunches to homebound people with AIDS falls in love with one of his clients. Beautifully written and alarmingly funny, <strong>Arkansas</strong> is one of the best works of gay fiction in years.]]>

Really enjoyed it - had a crooked smile on my face through the entire first story and the three were well-balanced against each other.
