Using the magical and mythic language of classic stories from around the world, Fairy Tales takes familiar myths and folktales and turns them into stories about men coming out, learning to trust themselves, looking for and finding love, facing AIDS, and helping those they love. Drawing upon traditional sources like the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, master storyteller Peter Cashorali weaves magical tales for gay men and their friends. Not parodies or jokes, these witty "teaching tales" touch upon contemporary issues--including coming out, AIDS, and aging--that affect the psyches of gay men today.
