"MAKE TENNIS GAY AGAIN!"




Winter 2016. The Toronto Torches-aka the Toronto Gay and Lesbian Tennis League-had come to a crash under mysterious circumstances.




Spring 2020. A new queer tennis organization has been created in the nearby wanna-be-downtown suburb of Torpedo Valley. Proud and out Stefan "Steffi" Porsche relishes in his dominance as both the President of the league, and-coincidentally-the league's best player. That is, until strapping and super talented Khalid Adam arrives. But differences threaten to disrupt the order of the gay institution: Khalid is ... STRAIGHT, sending Stefan into a neurotic tizzy.




Will the hyper-competitive and heterophobic Stefan maintain his invincibility, or will Khalid dethrone him? Can Khalid-and all those outside the queer majority-be kept from invading the sacredness of the gay tennis league? Or will President Stefan succeed in his quest to "MAKE TENNIS GAY AGAIN!"?




With a colourful cast of characters, campy humour, and dramatic twists à la Pedro Almodóvar, The Moonballers: A Novel about The Invasion of a LGBTQ2+ Tennis League ... by Straight People (Gay Gasp!) is an action packed and wacky sports parody about intolerance, love, and the absurdity of socio-political extremes that will hit you like a hard shot straight to the face!
