A passionate ride through physical and emotional landscapes straight to the heart of homoerotic desire. 19 queer tales that evoke a sense of displacement and a hunger for journey.

In "Postcards from Heartthrob Town: A Gay Man's Travel Tales" author Gerard Wozek examines the link between geographical locale and the compass of his own heart. A mix of both personal memoir and fiction, the book contains nineteen stories which serve as both a travelogue of various locations as well as a guide to the interior life of a man questing for meaning in the world, redefining travel as both an inner pilgrimage as well as a sensuous trek across the globe

Gerard Wozek has compiled these evocative short stories which are sojourns to the heart of desire as much as they are of actual place. Whether meandering the desolate plains of his hometown in the Midwest or trekking through the lurid trappings of underground Paris, Wozek underscores the impulse to merge with what is unfamiliar and out of reach. With a poet's eye for detail, these stories illustrate the dislocation of the heart and the hunger of the erotic body as it transits through varied frontiers. A cryptic encounter with a healer in Oaxaca, Mexico; a series of sensual exchanges with a provocative stranger in Vienna, Austria; a spiritual pilgrimage to the top of Mount Brandon in Ireland; these are just three of the stops discovered on Wozek's most recent itinerary.
