Jeff Mann, whose story “Key West” appears in _Queer Shorts_ (excerpt coming soon), also has a creative nonfiction piece, “Plantation Fantasies,” in the forthcoming anthology _Identity Envy: Wanting to Be Who We’re Not_. I’ve been looking forward to the release (winter 2006/2007) of _Identity Envy_ for a while now. Read all about _Identity Envy_ here.
