Een nieuwe liefdesrelatie wordt verbroken om een schandaal op de universiteit te voorkomen.

Con passo lento, ma a volte anche con scatti poderosi, la scrittura propriamente e dichiaratamente gay è entrata e si è installata nell'orizzonte letterario italiano, liberandosi da schemi grotteschi e marginali e dalle idee stereotipate. Sempre di più il testo letterario viene valutato per quel che è: un insieme di armonie (o disarmonie) lessicali, costruzione o distruzione di scenari, tessuto di dialoghi e trame, indipendentemente dalle abitudini sessuali di chi l'ha scritto. Gli autori presenti in questa antologia sono ormai dei veri scrittori, senza bisogno di ulteriori etichette.
