40th anniversary reprinting of a beloved fable-manifesto from the 1970s queer counterculture.

Thirty-nine-year-old Fred Lemish had always hoped that love would find him by the age of forty, and with four days to go, he begins a compulsive, yet humorous, search for that love and commitment, in a classic novel of gay life. Reprint.

A dark satire about an amusement park more deranged than anything Disney could imagine: a playland for gay men called Faggotland. Castle Faggot is Derek McCormack's darkest and most delicious book yet, a satire of sugary cereals and Saturday morning cartoons set in an amusement park more deranged than anything Disney dreamed up. At the heart of the park is Faggotland, a playland for gay men, and Castle Faggot, the darkest dark ride in the world. Home to a cartoon Dracula called Count Choc-o-log, the castle is decorated with the corpses of gays—some were killed, some killed themselves, all ended up as décor. The book includes a map of Faggotland, a photobook of the castle, the instructions for a castle-shaped dollhouse, and the novelization of a TV puppet show about Count Choc-o-log and his friends—reminiscent of the classic stop-motion special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but even gayer and more grotesque. As scatological as Sade but with a Hanna-Barbera vibe, Castle Faggot transmutes McCormack's love of the lurid and the childlike, of funhouses and sickhouses, into something furiously funny: as Edmund White says, “the mystery of objects, the lyricism of neglected lives, the menace and nostalgia of the past—these are all ingredients in this weird and beautiful parallel universe.”

This essay focuses on the possibility of social and personal transformation which was opened up by the gay liberation movement in France, which the author terms a "revolution of desire."

"Every Monday in 2017 and 2019, comedic performance artist Morgan Bassichis created a to-do list. The Odd Years is a collection of those lists, which served both as a way to generate material for live performances and as a place to archive the logistical, emotional, and political business that just kept piling up throughout this two-year project. A record of routine and impossible tasks--some completed and others left unfinished--The Odd Years is one response to the oddness of times in which intensified crisis becomes ordinary"--Publisher's website.

Drawn from Sullivan's meticulously kept journals, this landmark book records the life of arguably the first publicly gay trans man to medically transition. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives.

Caution: Keep this book away from any cartoon mice living in your house! Married the day after Christmas in 1986, the company I was working for went out of business while I was away on my Honeymoon. This left me unemployed for a few months. During this time, I was left alone ALL day with my new wife's cat of old-PATRICK. My new "Red- Headed Step-Cat" Patrick, was the jealous type, he never even liked it when I was there to visit, let alone being there day in and day out. The cat's continuous antics almost led our marriage down the path of destruction. I would have to wear knee high boots around the house to protect my feet from this menace. Thoughts of how to cure this feline of his constantly wanting to amputate my toes and shred my shins were racing through my mind. My employed wife would go off to work every morning and return home only to ask how my day went with Patrick. Hurting Patrick would have been grounds for divorce-so I started writing down one thing every day that I "Wanted" to do to the cat and gave it to my wife when she got home from work. She and I would then laugh about them over dinner! By writing these torments down, I never hurt my cat. By you reading them, maybe you won't hurt yours either. If you like Tom and Jerry & Itchy and Scratchy, you will LOVE this Tongue-In-Cheek-Farce! No cats, including Patrick, were harmed during the writing of this book... ...In Fact, Millions of Cats have been saved by the reading of this book! Funny in any Language!!
