	All Books by Brian Bouldrey - Author of : Monster: Adventures in American Machismo Hardcover - 208 pages (October 2001) Council Oak Distribution; ISBN: 1571781064 "Gay General Fiction; What guy hasn't felt like a monster at some point in his life? The social construct of masculinity creates expectations that are difficult for most men to meet, and it's the source of most gym-class ribbing, hair replacement schemes, and jugs & mugs beer commercials. In Monster, an outsider looks into this masculine world - sometimes admiringly, sometimes critically, but always in a playful, fiercely intelligent style that is threaded with perceptive autobiographical reflection. Intrepid writer and editor Brian Bouldrey joyfully skewers the myths of American male behavior and ponders the nature of masculinity from a "sissy's" perspective. The author visits stereotypical scenes of masculine excess - the rodeo, the bachelor party, and the World Wrestling Federation, among others - as jumping-off points for a series of side-splitting and revealing riffs on masculinity, sexuality, and friendship. Monster has something to say about Superman, Everyman, and all the poor Joes in between, and it'll put hair on your chest to boot." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by Christopher Bram - Author of : Father of Frankenstein Paperback Reprint edition (April 1996) Plume; ISBN: 0452273374 "General Gay Fiction; This novel--the basis for the critically acclaimed 1998 film Gods and Monsters--re-creates the last days of film director James Whale, who was found dead in his swimming pool, an apparent suicide, in 1957. Bram offers sharp insights into the darkly comic sensibility that infuses Whale's two most famous films, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, as memories of an impoverished English childhood, the trenches of World War I, and Hollywood studios compete for space in a mind whose defenses have been weakened by a stroke. Written in the fluid present tense of a cinematic treatment, Father of Frankenstein is a powerful evocation of an era before Hollywood celebrities could proclaim anything but domestic heterosexuality to the outside world."

He is in love with Isaac Kemp, an ex-slave who only sporadically returns his affections and who himself successfully woos Alice Pangborn, a rather prim white governess. The three, locked in a strange and often painful love triangle, travel the world--until a horrible tragedy forces them all to examine the choices they have made and shakes up their relationships in ways none of them could have predicted. Rich in historical detail and musical knowledge, The Notorious Dr. August is a brilliantly written exploration of race, class, spirituality, and sexuality -- and of what it really means to love another."
