Fire and Wolf Share a Fondness for Male Beauty (老火和老狼同好男色)

In this queer take on erotica fiction, the love triangle among Fire, Wolf, and their shared object of desire, Qi Shishi, spans decades and is nothing short of spectacular, comical, and absurd. The story contains all the elements that romantic erotica should have, but in a departure from the conventional heterosexual motif, homoeroticism takes center stage, taking readers on a rollercoaster ride through the two young men’s adolescence. In Cui’s writing, queer sexuality is portrayed as part of the mundane way of life, of the everyday human experience.
