The Gang's All Here

Christopher Bram has a simple reason for writing Eminent Outlaws: The Gay Writers Who Changed America (Twelve, $27.99): “I wrote the book,” he says, “because it hadn’t been written yet.” Bram looks at writers who went beyond being just names on the bestsellers list and became cultural leaders who shaped the American dialogue on gay identity. None of the writers are just random scribblers, according to Bram. “Readers will be surprised and pleased by how much really good gay writing was happening from an early date,” he says. “And it’s not always just the usual suspects.” What will this book tell you? Here’s a primer.

Hi Erin,this makes me think about something I've oenictd very often.Here in France (perhaps that's the case in other country ?), when you're looking for a gay/lesbian book or movies , in shop or webstore, you find them very often in the erotic section!But gay or lesbian doesn't mean porn or erotic !!!!!I wish this way of thinking would change soon !And that's great that some production companies such as Wolfe have the courage to distribute these movies.lots of loves,s.
just a little correction guys, it is Virginia WOOLF not Wolfe.
Gore Vidal was movie star handsome and "The City And The Pillar" was years before its time
A shame Alice Walker (at the very least) isn't on the cover. :-(
This book looks great. Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe" was a masterpiece. It good to experience gay people who can really write. Even Editors of gay newspapers.
This book looks great. Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?" was a masterpiece. It would b hard for the Advocate staff to relate. The Editor writes like a High School Junior.
It's so hard to find an equivalent today. Thank you to all these gay men. I think I see Gore Vidal on the cover. He is another of the greats. Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe" is a masterpiece.
