Visit to Priapus and Other StoriesJust as E. M. Forster's novel of gay love, Maurice, remained unpublished throughout his lifetime, Glenway Wescott's long story "A Visit to Priapus" was also destined to be a posthumous work, buried from 1938 until this century in Wescott's massive archive of manuscripts, journals, notebooks, and letters. The autobiographical story is about a literary man, frustrated in love, who puts aside his pride and makes a date with a young artist in Maine.
Just as E. M. Forster's novel of gay love, Maurice, remained unpublished throughout his lifetime, Glenway Wescott's long story "A Visit to Priapus" was also destined to be a posthumous work, buried from 1938 until this century in Wescott's massive archive of manuscripts, journals, notebooks, and letters. The autobiographical story is about a literary man, frustrated in love, who puts aside his pride and makes a date with a young artist in Maine. Lavishly rendered in Wescott's elegant prose, the tale is explicit where it needs to be, but--as is typical of Wescott--it is filled with descriptive beauty and introspective lessons about sex and sexuality, love and creativity. Previously published in anthology form in the United Kingdom, "A Visit to Priapus" is presented for the first time in book form in America, containing previously uncollected stories, including three never before published. The result is a candid portrayal of the gifted but enigmatic writer who was famous in youth and remained a perceptive and compassionate voice throughout his long life. Drawn together from midcentury literary journals and magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, as well as from Wescott's papers, the stories were inspired by his life, from childhood to old age, from Wisconsin farm country to New York, London, Germany, and Paris.Finalist, Gay General Fiction, Lambda Literary Awards

Sexy and Elegant Heels
Size: 7.5, Color: Gold, Size: 7.5, Color: Gold
I love the design of these high heels—they’re very sexy and feminine, and they make your legs look beautiful.
I’m planning to wear them on my birthday with a dark green dress (shown in my video), and I think they pair really well together.
The only thing I would change is the shade of gold. I wish it were a bit less bright, more like champagne or rose gold, so the dress could stand out even more.

Elegant & Surprisingly Comfortable Heels 👠
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
These strappy nude heels are absolutely gorgeous in person! The minimalist design makes them super versatile — I’ve worn them with dresses, jeans, and even formal outfits. The nude color helps elongate the legs, and the thin straps give such a classy, elegant look. I was honestly surprised by how comfortable they were for stilettos. The ankle strap keeps the foot secure, so I didn’t feel like I was constantly slipping around while walking. The heel height is definitely high, but they’re manageable for dinners, parties, weddings, or a night out. They also look much more expensive than they are. Great quality for the price, and they instantly elevate any outfit. Definitely a pair of heels to add to your closet!!

Good value for the money.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Beige
Comfortable right out of the box. Great style and well made. The more you wear the softer they get but maintain their overall appearance.
