Part of Prairie Ephemera Collection

Fiction. A contemporary gay coming-of-age novel originally published in 1976.

"Attractive and well connected, young Jack Marlowe emerges in the 1920s intent on enjoying all that the world of the senses has to offer. But his pursuit of pleasure also provides an accurate and revealing picture of Europe between the wars, as it leads him from the Bloomsbury group, via Berlin, Paris and Prague, to an idyllic Vienna of boys in lederhosen, soon ended by the Anschluss which brings him back to London with its blackout, bombers and blitz.

Though not an autobiography, this novel by a leading critic, poet and editor closely parallels its author's own life and times."

Fiction. A contemporary gay novel, the second in author Dennis Cooper's five-novel George Miles cycle.

"Possessed by the mystery of a series of fake snuff photographs he was shown as a teen, "Dennis," the narrator of Frisk, lives in a world where the rules of attraction have become a game of treasure hunt, and love is only a matching of images and body parts. In Holland, finally, in a room in a windmill above a brewery, Dennis is freed from the need to respect feelings; the unimaginable becomes an idea, and the idea a reality. Frisk is an unflinching and inexorable walk on the line between death and desire, where there is no retribution."

"A gay ghost, a talking dog, and a street kid who thinks he's an elf-child join our narrator Bud, best friend Dennis Savage, eternally young Little Kiwi, devastating hunk Carlo, and the other characters from I've a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore and Buddies in this final volume in Mordden's trilogy on gay life in the big city.

And there's trouble in paradise: Dennis Savage is suffering midlife crisis; his lover little Kiwi wants his freedom; the "elf-child" Cosgrove, a littler Kiwi who uses sex as a weapon, threatens to tear apart the delicate fabric of this gay family of buddies, lovers, and brothers; and the AIDS crisis may bring an end to this whole world."

Fiction. Contemporary mystery novel published in 1989.

"You are a Hollywood agent. Most of the actors you represent are unemployed. Your bank balance is low, and your new secretary is an illegal alien. A client you can barely remember has been bizarrely murdered. You have had better days. Then your client's lover makes you an offer: investigate the murder, for a large check. What do you do? If you're Jake Weissman, out of condition and no hero, you refuse. Absolutely.

But money talks, pressure mounts, and a reluctant Jake sets off on a trail that leads him to a retired stuntman with dreams of playing Shakespeare, an aging M-G-M bathing beauty, two weird teenage stagehands, and an imperious guitar-playing feminist. In true theatrical fashion, egos clash, bodies appear, complications ensue, and Jake unravels a tangled skein indeed."
