Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The newest entry in the Mammoth series of genre and topical anthologies concentrates on stories about gay men written since the end of World War II by writers in English who, editor Burton says, were alive when the book was ready for press. The heft of the book--like every Mammoth anthology, it is a bargain in terms of cost per page--attests to just how big the outburst of open gay male fiction writing after the war has been. The 47 stories in it mostly date from the '80s and '90s yet reach as far back as 1946, and their authors include such established British names as Francis King, Patrick Gale, and Neil Bartlett, and such well-known Americans as Felice Picano, Joseph Hansen, Andrew Holleran, and Pulitzer Prize^-winning playwright Robert Patrick.
