STAG DO/FANTASY HORN by Anna Walsh
He, when I was nineteen, told me that all a lad needs to fall in love is a girl who will be nice to him and have sex with him. Well, I had sex with him, but I couldn’t be nice, or be a girl.
This new short story by Irish writer Anna Walsh follows an unnamed transmasculine narrator on a stag night with a group of straight men from their hometown. As the drink flows, our horned-up hero lusts ambivalently after men past and present, all the while looking back and licking the wounds of their chaotic, closeted youth.
Praise for Stag Do/Fantasy Horn:
“Anna Walsh has written the perfect mythic miniature about the slide-rule of masculinity as a never-ending creation story. Stag Do/Fantasy Horn is a dream-drunk bestiary narrated by a horned and horny stag at a roving bachelor’s party. The hours tick with pints, spirits, and drugs, turning the nervy celebration into a time-tripped rutting season. Jumpy with longing and disgust, our narrator’s roughhousing mind churns memories of perfect specimens, messy breakups, and abject nights. Told with dark humor and frank strangeness, it’s touching in every sense. Powerful too.”
