MEN OF THE MEAN STREETS: GAY NOIR
Garth Greenwell wr about Michael Nava’s Henry Rs novels, a tective seri that also als wh gay and Lato inty and the AIDS crisis. * gay noir novels *
1, 730 reviews54 followersSeptember 8, 2015This is an anthology of gay mystery stori wh a noir twist. It wasn't tly gay eher more m/f and lbian.
The protagonist of the story is hired by an openly gay Catholic prit, Father Robert Bryce, to fd the fah which was stolen om him. The protagonist don't give much rmatn about himself: we know that he se ghosts, that he's gay and that he's had a walk wh the vil. He checks at a motel and spends a night at the bar of a bowlg alley where he meets Taylor Harkns, the only gay boy town.
I appreciated very much the subtle humor of the story and the atmosphere, but I thk the fact that I knew I was readg a Gay&Lbian anthology spoiled the twist at the end of the book. He n't tst almost anyone: not the spect he's tryg to discharge om the murr of his gay lover; not his lawyer who seems too timate wh him.

Gay noir?
However, Herren and Redmann clearly had their reasons for cludg - maybe beg wrten by a gay thor is creria enough?
