A Perfect Scar and Other Stories is a whimsical, sly, and slightly crazy collection of short stories from award-winning novelist, poet, and songwriter Trebor Healey. These 12 tales cover a lot of ground, including AIDS, aging, death, eroticism, tattoos, and multiculturalism--all told with humor, insight, and Healey's rich, lyrical touch. This sometimes poignant, sometimes erotic assortment of fauns, punks, cowboy dykes, old men with swollen prostates, young men with criminal records, and gangsters doomed by their own beauty and grace are bound together by folly, fate, and passion in their search to find some semblance of peace in the world.
