 n the desert in a place called the Palace\, a young man tends to a dying s
 oul\, someone he once knew briefly\, but who has haunted the edges of his 
 life. Juan Gay&mdash\;playful raconteur\, child lost and found and lost\, 
 guardian of the institutionalized&mdash\;has a project to pass along to th
 is new narrator. It is inspired by a true artifact of a book\, <em>Sex Var
 iants: A Study in Homosexual Patterns</em>\, which contains stories collec
 ted in the early twentieth century from queer subjects by a queer research
 er\, Jan Gay\, whose groundbreaking work was then co-opted by a committee\
 , her name buried. As Juan waits for his end\, he and the narrator trade s
 tories&mdash\;moments of joy and oblivion&mdash\;and resurrect lost loves\
 , lives\, mothers\, fathers\, minor heroes. The past is with us\, beside u
 s\, ahead of us\; what are we to create from its gaps and erasures?</p>\nh
