Pulp Friction

Uncovering the Golden Age of Gay Male Pulps

Edited by Michael Bronski St. Martin's Griffin

"I read through this book saying again and again, 'How did I miss this?' 'How did I manage not to know about this?'—a sign that Michael Bronski has done a necessary job and done it well. Rarely is a book so educational also such a delight. By leaving the hallowed precincts of the 'literary,' Bronski lends a continuity heretofore lacking in many of our pictures of the development of gay fiction from World War II on."—Samuel R. Delany, author of Times Square Red, Times Square Blue and The Motion of Light in Water
