Gay readings: novels I've loved

The first novel in Western literature was a "gay" novel!

The Satyricon by PETRONIUS ARBITER
the adventures of thhree gay rogues in the corrupt Roman underworld

I loved also:

Salammbo by Flaubert: the ambiance is gay, even if they the characters are not

PAO PAO by Tondelli I dreamed of LELE ...

NEW TALES OF SAN FRANCISCO by Armistead Maupin. Poetic and delicate

EVERYBODY LOVES YOU by Ethan Mordden, the caustic, romantic, irriesistibile Armistead Maupin in New York. I love Little Kiwi and Cosgrove!

ANGELI DA UN'ALA SOLTANTO by Sciltian Gastaldi Realistic, romantic scenes with unexpected explicit sex. Ah, young love, going from bliss to despair, to hope of finding love after all!


HIS NAME IS JOHN by Dorien Gray A supernatural mystery gay. Intriguing!

COLLECTED NOVELLAS by Josh Lanyon, 1 and 2 All the colors of love and eel gay mystery novels goduriosissime!

THE RYLERRAN GATEWAY by Mark Ian Kendrick One of the best science fiction gay novels

MAN'S WORLD by Rupert Smith A novel in which the gay London of today and of 50 years ago when being gay was illegal, meet in this beautiful, ironic, irreverent novel.

Only a few of my favorites
