The Lost Library: Gay Fiction Rediscovered by Tom Cardamon (ed) [2010]
Requirements: MOBI / ePUB reader, 783 kb
Overview: Twenty-eight modern gay authors reminisce about their favorite out of print gay novels, bringing the texts to light and telling intimate stories of their own.
A highly accessible must-read book for anyone interested in gay fiction. These essays shine a light on novels (and some story collections) published from the 1960's through the 1990's--all of it now out of print.
Each essay is an appreciation from a different writer about book with personal meaning for him. Christopher Bram tells about his friendship with Allan Barnett and his admiration for Barnett's story collection "The Body and Its Dangers"... Aaron Hamburger writes about his missed connection with reclusive author J.S. Marcus in Berlin, the setting for Marcus's novel "The Captain's Fire"... Editor Tom Cardamone writes about the bond he felt with "The Sacred Lips of The Bronx," Doug Sadownick's novel in which a grown man looks back on his first love--and how that bond helped him come out.
Fiction's power to bring readers into a deeper relationship with the self is an undercurrent of this entire collection. But its true significance will be as an important, if highly personalized, addition to the scholarship of the often misunderstood and maligned term "gay fiction."
