Surf, Sand and Sex Meet the Macho World of Construction Workers in this Debut Novel; In language immediate and haunting, this vivid and unique tale, from Lambda Literary Award-finalist Jay Quinn, tells the coming-of-age story of a young man claiming his place as a surfer and coming out gay. Set against the broad skies and beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Matt's story of growing up, moving on and coming out is vivid and unique in its candour, subject and small-town setting. Amidst the small and large worlds of construction sites, fishing piers and surf breaks, readers will be inspired by the courage Matt exhibits to find erotic and emotional maturity in the familiar - and at times frightening - place he knows as home.
