Bernard has the arrivals and departures of the trio of international air-hostesses perfectly scheduled by using the airlines own timetables - until the addition of the Boeing Boeing jets. Suddenly, air travel gets faster and turbulence ensues until everyone arrives at Bernard's Parisian love-nest at the same time.

BWW Reviews: Iron Crow's SLIPPING Celebrates Self-Realization and Hope
by Giordana Segneri - April 07, 2013
Raw. Unadulterated. Unfiltered. Rich and ragged. Daniel Talbott's Slipping explores the jagged corners of adolescence-the ones that usually go unexplored or are polished smooth by the propriety of adulthood-and brings with it some light and, eventually, a good deal of hope. Unblinkingly, it faces the reality of survival, because that's what it is, in a society that still has a long way to go toward accepting queer youth, or queer anything. It unveils the deep scars, the blood and bruises, the barren wastelands of denial and disgust. But it also celebrates the tenderness of self-realization and wide-eyed discovery.
