Publisher's Note
Adam Klein's debut fiction, THE MEDICINE BURNS, is a collection of stories linked by a central voice that is at once precise, touching, and brutal. In "Club Feet" a mother and son are inexorably bound by this inherited physical deformity; in the title story "The Medicine Burns" a gay adolescent tyrannized by acne turns vengeful after failing in his struggle to be loved; in "India" a young man with AIDS, unable to connect with everyday life, takes an exotic adventure. These stories brim with boys and men who don't fit in, shedding new light on the outsider in our society.
Klein's debut fiction collection brims with images of boys and men who just don't fit in. They have acne; they are drag queens; they have club feet; they are social misfits; some even have AIDS. His variety of protagonists sheds new light on the role of the outsider in a society obssessed with beauty and sex.

Industry reviews
"...[I]f The Medicine Burns, like every first work, has its weak spots, it more than compensates for these with some powerful, bittersweet stories."
Lambda Book Report - Rapahel Kadushin 

"...Klein, who has won an Academy of American Poets Prize, seems a poet on many levels, and though he often renders the truth as if it were a kind of pain (and one that is passon unremittingly to the reader), his measured, image-laden prose wraps around the stories like a balm or saving grace....The impression left is fierce and difficult, and not easily shaken."
Kadushin
