We Love Anderson Cooper

 Also by R.L. Maizes is the book of short stories, We Love Anderson Cooper.  How many times do we feel we do not fit in?   This is a collection of stories about outsiders.  In the title story a young boy who wants to announce his sexual identity to parents and does not know how, so he uses his Bar Mitzvah speech to explain.  In a story entitled "Tattoo", a painter with no tattoos finds a job inking people in a tattoo parlor and is sought after for his artwork.  These stories are about the irony of life.

This is also a powerful and insightful book .  It will also leave you thinking about the topic raised long after you close the cover.
