BOOK
OF THE MONTH |
|
Positive relationships between
older and younger men are rarely included in gay writing so
we attempt to pick the best fiction
and biography that deals with
this subject.
Coming
out is difficult at any time, and possibly even harder
when you're older, so we have books that may help, Dating
books to help you to find Mr Right and Sex
Advice books to help you perform when you've found
him.
For older gay readers we have
lifestyle advice, health
and fitness and bereavement
as well as practical advice
for those new to computers and the internet. And for every
gay man, a guide to gay travel
books.
If you're looking for studies of gay ageing issues see
the research section.

 American
Studies
by Mark Merlis
Reviews:
GrayGay.com comments:
Narrated by a 60yo gay man in hospital after being beaten by
a trick, the novel tells the story of F.O. Matthiessen, a great American
literary critic who committed suicide in 1950 after being outed and ostracized
at Harvard, where he taught for more than twenty years. Most importantly,
though, Merlis writes like an angel, every sentence beautifully made,
charming, amusing, and moving. It is as perfect as a novel can be. |
