On Fairy Wings
By: Michael Bronski
| |
Luckily, today's travel writing is more influenced by Hester Stanhope and Richard Burton than by David Livingstone. And, no surprise, some of the best travel writing is still being done
by sexual and gender outsiders. |

Good Sports
By: Michael Bronski
| |
Patricia Nell Warren's racy run through homos in sports has new, often provocative, material. There are some surprises in this chatty, if highly speculative, three-millennium survey, but
they aren't contemporary baseball players or football champions. |

Lost Angeles
By: Michael Bronski

Whether describing the rise of disco and the emergence of the newly forming religious-right campaigns of Anita Bryant and John Briggs,
Gay LA perfectly balances popular culture with politics as it recovers a hidden gay past. |

Fops, Cuckolds, & Real Men

Homeland Insecurity
By: Michael Bronski
| |
It's tempting to call Exiles in America Christopher Bram's best novel-- although I think
Almost History is unmatched for its scope and deftness. Not only is
Exiles a major "gay novel"-- however you define that-- but it's also
a novel that grapples with the complexity of world politics today. Bram pulls it off, and his book is empathetic and enlightening, politically savvy and emotionally sophisticated. |

Mere Idolatry
By: Michael Bronski
| |
In Queering Teen Culture, Jeffery Dennis,
sociologist at Lakeland College, in Sheboygan,
Wisconsin, has charted boy glamour-- mostly from
the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s-- in an engaging
survey that aims at a
scholarly range and appeal but often falls into teen
fanzine squawk. |

Undistorted Reflections
By: Michael Bronski
| |
Books are hardly ever perfect. How could they be? They are written with a unique vision, edited with an eye on the broadest audience, and then vetted to ensure they make money. It's a wonder there are any good books
at all. |

Saving Sex
By: Michael Bronski
| |
Wayne Hoffman's debut novel Hard, is a knockout. Not just because it is so good, and so witty, funny, sexy, and intelligent. But because it brings us back to a type of gay fiction writing that's become rarer and rarer. |
