    An Aghaidh na Sìorraidheachd. In the Face of Eternity
    • Venedig 1761, sieben Jahre nach der Ermordung von Alvise Contarini, dem letzten Sproß einer berühmten Theaterfamilie, will Donato Gradenigo das Theater neu eröffnen. Doch es bleiben nur sieben Tage bis zur geplanten Premiere. Sieben Tage, die nicht nur die neu engagierten Künstler zu intensiven Proben nutzen, sondern auch Neider, um das Ganze mittels fein gesponnener Intrigen scheitern zu lassen.

      Ten gay men gather for a dinner party, but the conversation leaves a lot unsaid. Into the gaps, the author weaves the untold stories of the guests—Gavin's trip to Ireland to find the place where Colin died, and how Nicholas' ad in the classifieds led him to the hairiest body in Edinburgh.
