Eminent Outlaws: The Gay Writers Who Changed America by Christopher Bram

4.0

Excellent. This is a definite must-read for anyone interested in (gay) fiction and the literary life. Not only is this book filled with the works of most of the major writers of gay fiction, from the 1950s to today, but the reader is also treated to bits of gossip about the writers, including rivalry (and friendships) between each other. We are also given brief snapshots of history, which was helpful to see the influences of the times each book was being published. WARNING: this book names a lot of gay fiction and will make you want to read them. (I was surprised at home many of these works I had already read).
