Hard
By Wayne Hoffman
Every few years a novel arrives that sums up a period. Hard is such a novel being both an ode to Gay N.Y. in the 90s and a call back to grassroots activism.

Chance
By Grace Lennox aka Jennifer Fulton
|
|
Chosen
By Verda Foster
|
| Sweet Creek is a story of love, community, and the changing tides of time set in a town near a vortex in the Pacific Northwest. Often unexpected relationships emerge to challenge the women who inhabit this special space, and as the four central women who have moved to this ‘dyke magnet’ become family, they learn to lay their fears and ghosts to rest.
|
At twenty-six, Chance Delaney decides her life isn't working so she swaps it for a different one.
On a quest for adventure, meaning and a girlfriend, she finds herself transported from her safe job in a San Francisco gay and lesbian bookstore to No.1 on the charts, as lead vocalist for the all-women band Virgin Blessing.
|
In the feudal kingdom of Ryshta, there are masters and there are slaves. The servants labor for their arrogant lords, who treat them little better than animals. That's the way it's always been. But the slaves are waiting for the coming of The Chosen One, the prophesied leader who will take them out of their bondage.

Hard
By Wayne Hoffman
Taking place over the course of a single year, Hard periodically stops the action to delve into the sexual psyche of its main characters, exploring what motivates them, what turns them on, what defines their identity - what makes them hard.
As Faggots explored the 1970s sexual universe of gay men in New York, Hard takes a serious look a generation later, taking readers into adult theaters, online chat rooms, bedrooms, and into the minds of the gay men who have sex there. But while Faggots was written before AIDS, the characters in Hard are very much affected by the epidemic: Frank lost his lover to the disease, Gene is HIV-positive, Aaron’s lover unwittingly puts them both in danger, and Moe’s sexual politics are deeply informed by AIDS. There's nobody in Hard who hasn’t had his sexuality and politics shaped by the epidemic.

Drag King Dreams
By Leslie Feinberg
From award-winning and best-selling author, Leslie Feinberg, comes Drag King Dreams, the story of Max Rabinowitz, a butch lesbian bartender at an East Village club where drag kings, dykes dressed as men, perform.
A veteran of the women's and gay movement of the past 30 years, Max's mid-life crisis hits in the midst of the post-9/11 world. Max is lonely and uncertain about her future - fearful, in fact, of America's future with its War on Terror and War in Iraq - with only a core group of friends to turn to for reassurance.

Gay Day
By Allan Ginsberg
|
| Gerald has been preparing to die. During the last of his three hospital stays, he has drawn up a last will and testament, a living will, assigned a health care proxy, and arranged his own cremation. He has thrown out hundreds of photos accrued over his twenty-five years as an actor, boxes of gay porn, all his journals, and acquired a hefty collection of barbiturates for when things got too “icky.”
|
The Real Nureyev is an intensely personal, under-the-skin depiction of ballet’s greatest hero. Written by Carolyn Soutar, who worked with Nureyev at the London Coliseum during the 1980s, this biography focuses a six-year period of his life when his career was drawing to a close and this once phenomenal dancer began to call himself “Old Galoshes,” in recognition of his fading powers.
|
