Je t'aime Cowboy

by T.F. Rigelhof

Overview

In Montreal, sex and politics frequently mix, and T.F. Rigelhof's stories are sexy and political. His contemporary cowboys — immature, vulnerable men hoping to achieve masculinity by wearing cowboy boots, playing with guns, listening to Tom Waits — get the treatment they deserve: ironic understanding.
