Jim Gladstone
Jim Gladstone thrives on variety. His latest book, Gladstone's
Games To Go is a collection of
over 60 no-equipment games
that's been called "a dense, effective weapon against
boredom" (The Trentonian) and named one of the hot
books of Summer, 2004 by the Advocate (which
suggests that losers of the games be forced to strip).
His prior
book was the award-winning novel, The
Big Book of Misunderstanding, and
his next—as editor—is the gay short story
anthology
Men & Ink: Hot Tattoo Tales (Summer 05).
A new novel is perpetually in the works, but distractions,
excuses,
and fiscally sounder opportunities are vexingly ever-present.
Tons of Jim's past writing—including dozens of book
reviews—can be found by poking around on his website
www.GoGladstone.com.
