A Stranger in Triva is an ingenious cycle of stories about gay men and their lives. Each story offers a glimpse into a relationship, from Russia and India a century ago; in Asia, the US and Mexico today. These stories speak of love and devotion, of longing and erotic pleasure, but also of responsibility, of honor, and of deceit. As the reader travels from story to story, a magical narrative emerges which connects all the protagonists in the book across space and time. Marten Weber has created a cohesive work with incredible depth that will forever change your mind about what gay story-telling can be. These are imaginative and beautiful stories about personal fates, spanning a century and ten countries, ingeniously linked and told in the educated and engaging style Weber has become renowned for.
