Don't Explain
by Jewelle Gomez (1998)
About this book
"Popular, respected, and widely published author Jewelle Gomez combines exciting new work with classic stories in this memorable collection of short fiction. Well-versed in the traditions of African-American writing, Gomez moves from lesbian life in Boston in the 1960s (the title story) to a futuristic fantasy, 'Houston,' a previously unpublished Gilda story. The centerpiece novella, 'Lynx and Strand,' explores some of the darkest dreams and fears of American culture as we hurtle toward the millenium. The breadth of Jewelle Gomez's literary reach is amply illustrated as she continues to entice and entertain her readers in Don't Explain with her sweetly erotic excursions and encompassing vision."--BOOK JACKET.

Le shack
W. Paul Young
Mackenzie Allen Phillips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant, "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him.
