Shaun Levin's amazing Seven Sweet Things is a luscious and kinky exploration of queer heart and appetite... Full of gorgeous writing, seductive recipes and open-eyed erotics, Seven Sweet Things is finger-licking good! Tim Miller, author of Shirts and Skin and Body Blows Lots of food, and lots of sex, interweaving seamlessly... passionately, powerfully told. In every chapter there is a moment to take your breath away with its simplicity, its originality, its honesty. Daniel Paddington, Time Out (London) as well as giving sharp insight into states of alienation, Levin can do tenderness, take risks and has considerable range (Sunday Independent on A Year of Two Summers) ... the yardstick for other books in the gay genre that may follow this year... Levin's novella is as poetic as Auden, as intelligent as Forster... and as polished as the most beautiful of diamonds. Outstanding! Trev Taylor, TheGayRead.com
