THE GAY DETECTIVE: HOMOSEXUALY CRIME FICTN

Plakcy about the history of homosexualy crime fictn, and then make sure you're signed and ment below for a chance to w a py of The Next One Will Kill You! And before I wrote my first mystery featurg a gay tective, I read Joseph Hansen, Michael Nava, Mark Zubro, and Nathan Aldyne.

Jt as Christie, Sayers, and Gardner were among the pneers of the ntemporary mystery, Hansen, Nava, Zubro, and Aldyne were the lears rporatg gay characters to crime fictn. Their books opened doors to gay culture at a time when homosexualy was nsired a psychiatric disorr and a sure way to break a mother’s heart. He was one of the very first mastream thors to wre about a gay tective—an surance vtigator named Dave Brandstetter.

His wasn’t the first gay tective to h prt—that honor, I believe, belongs to Pharoah Love, a sexy, sassy Ain-Amerin police tective workg Manhattan, thored by Gee Baxt. His seven mysteri starrg gay Hispanic attorney Henry Rs foc a great al on the AIDS epimic and s effect on men, their iends, and their fai, and they n be heart breakg. Mark Zubro also has a strong social nscience, but his books are leavened wh humor and a bg sarsm directed agast homophob and school admistrators, among other awful sorts.

THE GAY DETECTIVE (1961) KDLE EDN

Schoolteacher Tom Mason and his lover (and eventual hband), baseball star Stt Carpenter, are amatr slths who solve crim and fight for jtice schools and gay neighborhoods, focg on muny, iendship, and fairns all thgs. Zubro’s send seri foc on Pl Turner, an openly gay homici tective—a rary at the time of the first book, Sorry Now, published by St. Zubro has said that he created Turner to show another si of gay life: a voted father whose kids e first.

Mart’s Stonewall Inn mysteri, helmed by gay edor Michael Denneny.

Mart’s was, as far as I know, the first mastream publisher to set up a gay imprt, wh Richard Stevenson, Grant Michaels, and Michael Craft among s stable of thors. It’s probably tellg of the mastreamg of gay culture that St. His sikick, a straight woman named Clarisse, starts out as a realtor and then go to law school, but she ntu to hold a torch for Daniel, who is most rolutely gay.

Together, the thors stched a quilt that reflected the diversy of gay experience. As for me, I want to keep up the tradns, and I thk that Ang Green, the openly gay FBI agent at the center of The Next One Will Kill You, is a te scendant of those who have e before him.

Siar to many books of the perd, this book offers a guid tour hidn the story, advisg what to expect at a gay bar and at the baths, how to get a room, where to put your key, how to get "special massag" and Rand was obvly flamg and happy wh .

THE GAY DETECTIVE NOVEL

I enjoyed this story very much, by givg the tour to the sixti dience of what to expect a gay bar, the thor also reveals what such clubs were like at the time to . It's a funny book wh a great picture of gay life at the time and more sex and s than was ctomary for books wrten 's a tective themed story and my plat would be the characters seemed one dimensnal.

Also I feel the hero looked down on the other gays, g them for his own vic and even shuttg down the gay clubs at the end whout a thought to his muny.

I, myself, lived the Castro San Francis om '74 to '78 and already gay culture was evolvg though Lou Rand, the thor, was still alive and kickg around the cy for part of that time, havg died '76. But was still possible to meet olr gay men who rembled the Boys In the Band typ featured this tome. This is on a par wh a gay universe.

Is a fun time psule of gay culture San Francis and pulp fictn novels, general.

But you uld still be jailed, outed on the ont page of the newspaper and loose your job for beg gay so those guys wh "swish" paved the way and were tly brave men and soon proved to be a force to be reckoned wh at the Compton Cafeteria and Stonewall your md and heart to this time psule and you will surely love as much as I did.
