Description:
<p>Winner, 3-Day Novel Contest </p>
<p><i>Tacones</i> is a hangout for a subculture of outlaws and rejects--crackhead murderers, transvestite prostitutes, biastogerontophiles, hustler boys, and addicts?all painfully beyond denial, searching for connection, solace, humour, thrills, sex, and the perfect high. A rollicking and caustic romp through the violent and ambivalent world of the Toronto after-hours scene. Descend, if you dare?</p>
<p><i>Tacones</i> was first published in 1997 after winning the 19th annual 3-Day Novel Contest. It was immediately praised for its raw, unflinching portrait of an underclass and was compared to John Rechy?s <i>City of Night</i></p>
<p><i>Tacones</i> feels as disturbingly fresh as it did ten years ago and it seemed a fitting time to reissue this scurrilous little novel, warts and all.</p>
<p>Praise for <i>Tacones</i>:</p>
<p>?Compulsively readable? (Evelyn Lau)</p>
<p>?Very short, very cheap, and . . . very, very sexy.? (<i>Toronto Star</i>)</p>
<p>?Refreshingly spare and unadorned . . . <i>Tacones</i> comes on like a mild heart attack.? (Bruce LaBruce)</p>
