Missouri

--Arsenal's first German-to-English translation, and one of the few gay German literary titles to be made available in English. --Missouri is the German version of Brokeback Mountain: set in the 19th-century American Midwest, a surprising love story between two men: one, a privileged poet from London who flees a scandal at home to go to America to start a new life; the other, a young outlaw who shot his first man at age six. --The original German edition of the book was published in 2006. The author Christine Wunnicke has written four novels, but this is the first to appear in English. --Non traditional market: gay men's gift and erotic retail.
