About this book

At last, contemporary readers have the chance to discover a notorious and incomparably entertaining classic of gay fiction. When Gordon Merrick’s bold tale of men in love first appeared in print, the uproar from readers who’d never seen a gay love story so nakedly and unapologetically told was deafening. Today a whole new generation can discover a delicious secret of gay history: an irresistible, compulsively readable tale of gay romance. Eat your heart out, Judith Krantz.
