When the Bottom Falls Out - And Other Stories (Paperback)

Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. LGBT Studies. These finely crafted stories, set in the Caribbean and in Montreal, are about consequences of decisions made--sometimes for good reasons, sometimes out of hubris, sometimes on impulse, and sometimes because there is no choice. In "Robertson," pushed by the community to take action against his wife and her lover, Robertson creates a situation he's unprepared for. In "Glimpses into the Higginsons' Closet," through young Licia's eyes we witness child exploitation rationalized with racial and religious ideology. In "The Headmaster's Visit," we watch a headmaster clumsily seeking forgiveness from a student he'd wronged several decades before, even as he vaunts and displays his cruelty. In the title story, Rob begins to face the aftermath of his and Henry's arrest for loving each other.
