FLUID: an omnibus

FLUID: an omnibus showcases the wide-ranging work of Lee Williams in one compelling volume!Some of these pieces were heralded in their day; others emerge now for the first time. The collection delivers the following:Adventure reportage based on the author’s round-the-world rambles and his marathon expeditions by bicycle and kayak.16 tales set in exotic locales like Tahiti, Fiji, Indonesia and Thailand.Excerpts from half a dozen novels, including Memoirs of a Thin Man, a palindromic tour de force.A film script sampler from MF: a screamplay, a South Florida adaptation of the Oedipus trilogy.Academic articles written for prestigious journals.Not to mention, poetry, translation and advocacy journalism. Wow! All that?Along his literary journey, Williams steadfastly disrupts the bogus binaries of sexuality (gay/straight), race (black/white) and narrative (fictive/factual).Meanwhile, he unveils a vast realm of concomitance and fluidity, a heady refuge from oh-so-boring roles of social convenience.Lee Williams is a Fulbright fellow to Uruguay and holds a PhD (with specialization in Latin American literature) from the University of Miami.
