"Kevin Killian is the greatest unsung genius in contemporary American literature."—Dennis Cooper, author of Everyman: Stories and Closer: A Novel"Kevin Killian's Impossible Princess is impossibly captivating, each short story a bed of sticky pollen. It's an endless inspiration to writers and readers alike."—Susie Bright, editor of Best American Erotica"Kevin Killian's stellar body of work defies categorization. His novels, stories, and poems have been around for over two decades, occupying sacred spaces on the bookshelves of idolators like me and many others. The pieces in Impossible Princess—some of them written with various splendid collaborators—are hilarious, sad, scary, intimate, weird, complex, really dirty, and most of all, first-rate. Each story's a little outburst of brilliance. I love this book."—Scott Heim, author of Mysterious Skin and We Disappear"Kevin Killian has long been considered one of the finest, if unheralded, writers of experimental gay fiction."—Amazon.com
