Description and Table of Contents

Description

These thirty-nine stories chronicle the gay experience over the course of the last century, beginning with the unarticulated longing of two boys swimming in D.H. Lawrence's "A Poem of Friendship" and ending with the explicit sexual interaction of two boys in a bathtub in A.M. Homes's "The Whiz Kids." In between there is every imaginable kind of gay story written by every imaginable kind of writer--gay and straight, male and female--all illuminating the common ground of the gay male experience and its astonishing diversity. "The book is like a long enjoyable party, at which the celebrated rub elbows with the neglected."--Times Literary Supplement
