  • Lives,
  • C.
  • Bard
  • Cole
  • presents
  • a
  • wild
  • panorama
  • that
  • sweeps
  • from
  • the
  • urban
  • gay
  • ghetto
  • to
  • working
  • class
  • suburbia
  • to
  • the
  • counter
  • culture
  • of
  • punks
  • and
  • sex
  • workers,
  • a
  • shockingly
  • original
  • view
  • of
  • lives
  • lived
  • on
  • the
  • edge
  • of
  • both
  • straight
  • society
  • and
  • the
  • gay
  • 'mainstream'.

  • and
  • bought
  • dearly
  • through
  • pain
  • and
  • compromise.Intense
  • and
  • rewarding,
  • Cole's
  • debut
  • collection
  • exposes
  • the
  • complexities
  • and
  • contradictions
  • of
  • personal
  • identity
  • in
  • a
  • world
  • devoid
  • of
  • grand
  • truths
  • and
  • shared
  • values.
  • Briefly
  • Told
  • Lives
  • is
  • brash
  • and
  • insightful,
  • bringing
  • a
  • very
  • different,
  • hidden
  • world
  • into
