Harry Bush’s drawings for magazines such as Physique Pictorial, Mr. Sun, Touch, Drummer, and Stroke combined masterful technique, exceptionally well-endowed subjects, and a wicked sense of humor that made his work extremely popular. Despite long periods of self-imposed retirement and a fear of being outed that led him to destroy much of his own work, the reclusive artist’s drawings were as recognized and recognizable as those of Tom of Finland throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Hard Boys examines the life and work of this brilliant, mysterious, and paradoxical gay artist. Featured are some of Bush’s best-known works along with previously unpublished drawings from the artist’s private sketchbooks, as well as excerpts from Bush’s correspondence that offer insight into a complex personality: egomaniacal artist, self-critical individual, frustrated homosexual, and acerbic social commentator. This eagerly awaited collection allows fans to rediscover Bush’s witty, beautifully executed work while exposing it to a much wider audience. |

Bars and chat rooms? Forget it. Colleges, libraries, and bookstores are the real hotbeds of hooking up. Many men find their first affirmation of gay sexuality on an obscure shelf at the campus library, so it’s only natural that they return to bookish spots for further research — hands-on, of course. The original memoirs and stories in Sex by the Book treat books and sex as two equally vital, interlocking obsessions and show how they can be powerful forces for fantasy, delusion, arousal, and seduction. A university student makes a sexy punk his new major in a bookstore's bathroom stall. A cultured older man brings home an abusive hustler who quotes Wittgenstein. A beautiful young man meets the author of an S/M abduction story, eager to be the butch Daddy’s next victim. These and other tales of satyriasis and bibliophilism are just the ticket for every smoldering bookworm longing to have his glasses — and pants — removed by the right guy. |

Brian Howard was expected to become one of the leading authors of his generation, but instead he became a secondary character in the books of others. Marie-Jaqueline Lancaster’s biography makes him — at last — the protagonist of his own highly entertaining story. Packed with dishy reminiscences and extracts from Howard’s letters and writings, this book details the outrageous parties, stunts, and confrontations that were second-nature to this ne'er-do-well. Chronicling 30 years of waste and dereliction, Lancaster captures a prototypical gay literary life, perfect for anyone curious about gay history, the 1920s, modernism, or the mystery of failed artistic promise. From austere libraries in Oxford to seedy hotels in Amsterdam to darkened cinemas in Tangiers, Howard lived and died precociously and — most importantly — as he pleased. Brian Howard: Portrait of a Failure is the next best thing to an invitation to one of his famous parties. |

12-year-old Billy loves food and Lost in Space. As the only son on a remote farm in New Zealand, he’s forced into farm chores that aren’t just abhorrent, but that leave him little time to indulge his theatrical bent. He gets by with the help of his tomboy cousin Lou and a rich fantasy life. The arrival of two outsiders — the freaky, pimply Roy and the sexy David Cassidy look-alike Jamie — changes everything. Billy is drawn to both Roy and Jamie, testing his friendships and loyalties in the process. Funny and engaging, this tale of a gay awakening resonates with anyone who endured an awkward adolescence. Billy struggles with his sexual identity, but also with his weight, in achingly familiar attempts to diet and camouflage his girth. Capturing the period when the adult world begins to impinge on the child’s, the book narrates the agonies of early adolescence with wit and tenderness. Now a major motion picture and available on dvd from www.olivefilms.com. |

Gay Izzy is an erotic cartoonist; his best pal Eve makes exotic jewelry and works as a receptionist in a whorehouse. She collects clippings of unsolved murders of women and has flashes of psychic ability, and he’s an aging party boy who’s been getting more and more into metaphysical reading and exploring heightened states of mind through S/M sex clubs and a drug called SILT that’s permeated the gay community. SILT causes a "shift," which takes one to a different reality. When gay men start disappearing without a trace, and Izzy joins the ranks of the missing, Eve embarks on a mission beyond anything she’s over dreamed or imagined. Part edgy thriller, part ghost story, Izzy and Eve is a witty and unsettling joyride through Drinnan’s acid-etched world. |

For over 40 years, David Hurles documented the hidden world of rough trade and rent boys posing, masturbating, wrestling, or boxing. His models ranged from drifters and grifters to hustlers and ex-cons — men who came to Los Angeles and Hurles’s studio, to make it big but mostly landed in Hollywood’s gutter. His photographs were ubiquitous fixtures in gay publications throughout the seventies and eighties and continue to enjoy a strong following today. More Weegee than Weber, these images vibrate with youthful male power and edgy sexuality. Chosen from Hurles's vast archive by noted homoerotic artist Rex, they comprise an amazing photographic history of a sexuality that society has rarely acknowledged.

Whether describing having his hair styled by a gang of eighth-grade bullies; staging a Satan festival in the main hall of Greenvale High; or indulging in inappropriate sex with a caregiver, Kevin Bentley writes with a pen dipped in blood, indignation, and grim whimsy. The autobiographical stories and personal essays in Let's Shut Out the World focus on different pivotal periods and characters in the author's life, from a twisted youth in Texas, to the glittering excesses and sober spirals of life and love in San Francisco in the 1970s, to the monogamous contentment of an unexpected middle age. The narrator of these stories has man trouble aplenty, butting heads and other body parts with everyone from fundamentalist Christians to a slew of "fauxmosexuals" and elusive boyfriends. Bitingly funny and at times harrowingly sad, Let's Shut Out the World provides the back story and sequel to the author's popular memoir Wild Animals I Have Known. |

Written with a poet's sense of language and the quirky voice of an outsider among outsiders, Six Positions takes the reader on a frank and entertaining international road trip of clubs, baths, and sex parties. Subtly exploring the roots of fantasy, insecurity, stereotypes, and attraction, Andy Quan emerges as plainly comfortable with himself, his body, and his identity as an Asian man in the notoriously objectifying gay community. This level of comfort shows in the slyly humorous ways he allows the issue to surface in these narratives, where pickups trawling for a passive geisha often get more than they bargained for. Whether narrating the course of a romantic encounter gone bad, detailing the goings-on at an orgy, or smashing the stereotype of the Asian boytoy, Six Positions offers fresh, thoughtful, and creative considerations of gay bodies and acts, while celebrating determined and unadulterated sexual desire. |

Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex collects the best known of Jameson Currier's short fiction, along with several new stories that meticulously detail the search for love, romance, partnership, and meaning among the moderns. Currier's characteristically spare prose brings into sharp relief the sometimes maddening multiplicity of traits that constitute a person's romantic ideal and shows how the quest for the other can transform—or derail—the course of our lives. |

Unabashedly borrowing from the literary precedents set by John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation and Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, Slovakian Boy is a kaleidoscopic account of handsome young Pavel as seen through the eyes of interested — sometimes too interested — parties of family, friends, and fans. William Maltese's narrative of a boy's determined reinvention of himself as a porn god is a sexy romp through a rarely explored realm. |

It isn't often that a memoirist gets the biographic treatment, but the story of Edmund White's youth was too dramatic to resist. In this bracing true-life tale, Keith Fleming, White's nephew whom he adopted, captures a particularly unusual childhood. Forced to be a confidante to his unhinged mother, terrified and attracted to his imperious father, the teenager White became a Buddhist, a cruiser of hustlers and married men, and an FBI drug informant on his way to ultimate fame as a leading gay literary figure. Drawing on personal knowledge, letters, photographs, and extensive interviews with those closest to "Eddie," Fleming neither exploits his subject nor sugar-coats him. Original Youth is a rich portrait of a complex subject and a "wild child" who managed to survive and flourish against all odds. |

Whether you've dated, mated, or just plain slept around, if you're a gay man looking to hook up, you've probably had your share of boy trouble. Was he passive aggressive, a withholder, stalker, or snippy vegan? The one-night stand you thought you'd never escape, the date you couldn't flee fast enough? The sexually hot but emotionally unbalanced thug you crawled for—and then ran from? Maybe he was that quiet trick who really wanted to shave your erogenous zones? More Heathcliff than Mr. Darcy, more Cape Fear than Sleepless in Seattle—we've all suffered the tortures of an unfaithful, unavailable, too controlling, or too demanding date, boyfriend, or lover. They may be Hell to live through, but they do make for riveting post mortems. Now twenty gay writers have the last word in Boyfriends from Hell, a collection of sexy, funny, scary, heartbreaking and delightfully vengeful accounts of adventures at the deep end of the dating pool, where sometimes you just can't see the bottom. |

The Sperm Engine is a collection of short, erotic works by former Interview and Advocate editor Stephen Greco. The book features autobiographical and semi-autobiographical short stories, memoirs, and diary entries that tell steamy, gritty, and often comical stories of sexual adventure and misadventure in everyday gay life. Following in the tradition of literary provocateurs like John Preston, John Rechy, and Boyd MacDonald, Greco's The Sperm Engine illustrates how people often reveal themselves best during sex—whether through traditional, romantic expressions of love or through the vast variety of 'sex sport' and 'sex work' that are integral to modern gay life.
