'Tacones' is a hangout for a subculture of outlaws and rejects-crackhead murderers, transvestite prostitutes, biastogerontophiles, hustler boys, and addicts-all painfully beyond denial, searching for connection, solace, humour, thrills, sex, and the perfect high. A rollicking and caustic romp through the violent and ambivalent world of the Toronto after-hours scene. Descend, if you dare...'Tacones' was first published in 1997 after winning the 19th annual 3-Day Novel Contest. It was immediately praised for its raw, unflinching portrait of an underclass and was compared to John Rechy's 'City of Night'. 'Tacones' feels as disturbingly fresh as it did ten years ago and it seemed a fitting time to reissue this scurrilous little novel, warts and all. "Compulsively readable" - Evelyn Lau "Very short, very cheap, and . . . very, very sexy." -Toronto Star "Refreshingly spare and unadorned . . . 'Tacones' comes on like a mild heart attack." -Bruce LaBruce
