Title: An Eye-opener
Product review: "Pulp Friction" offers a broad review of gay male fiction from the 1920's to roughly the '80's. I was pleased to have my stereotypes of such fiction of that time completely shattered. Gone, the myth of the tragic gay loner. While porn is certainly a feature of the book, there are also sensitive excerpts of tender relationships, broken hearts, and vindicated devotion. The attachment of gay fiction to the larger civil rights movement is also illustrated, so too the writers' and publishers' battle against censorship. All in all, "Pulp Friction" throws a revealing light on today's conservative backlash.
