From homicidal homos to locked-up lesbians, and almost every sexually dangerous combination in between, Queer Pulp: Perverted Passions from the Golden Age of the Paperback is the first complete expose of queer sexuality in mid-twentieth century paperbacks. Compellingly written by historian Susan Stryker, Queer Pulp gives a complete overview of the cultural, political, and economic factors involved in the boom of queer paperbacks. With chapters covering gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexually oriented books, a lively overview of the genres, and loads of scorching paperback covers, Queer Pulp reveals the complicated and fascinating history of alternative sexual literature and book publishing. Featuring the work of well-known authors such as W. Somerset Maugham and Truman Capote to the low-brow and no-brow scribes who worked under several names, Queer Pulp is the entertaining and informative introduction to these lost, salacious literary genres.… (mais)
Queer Pulp is an interesting enough history of the literature of alternative lifestyles both legitimate (Tennessee Williams, Radclyffe Hall, James Baldwin) and not-so-legitimate (Percy Fenster, author of Hot Pants Homo), but the clincher on this one is the cover reproductions, which are just as lurid and wonderful as the cover implies. If you collect odd titles as I do, this is a veritable treasure trove. ( )

Although, there were at least twenty publishers of gay porn in the late 1960s, ranging in quality from Neva Paperbacks in Las Vegas, which never rose above the most conventional and predictable exploitation fare, to Olympia Press, the prestigious Parisian publisher of Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Vladimir Nabokov, and Samuel Beckett, which relocated to New York in 1967 to take advantage of the more liberal publishing environment in the United States.
