Fiction of Gay Interest
Plot / Content: Rating: G "Phil Andros is a hustler. The word has developed many meanings, but in his case it means that he lives by renting his body to all male comers. In a savage moment of self-accusation he once explains the term to a country boy he has picked up: 'I'm a male whore, a guy who sells his body to queers for money.' "Stud is a novel in the picaresque tradition, with the 'hero' an adventuring, lusting rogue, partly uncertain whether he belongs to the homosexul world or not, but finding his own channel as the book moves on - meeting bank presidents and young gangsters, Negroes and Black Muslims, college boys and professors, weight-lifters and policemen, fetishists and motorcyclists, millionaires and narcissists, musicians and photographers, factory workers and interior designers - all of whom he beds, some free but most of them for money."

"Oh, he was apple-cheeked and black-haired and heterosexual, and I hated his gah-damned guts! Strange, how in the midst of such serene surroundings a hatred like this could spring into being. Mornings and afternoons, you could watch the fantastic play of light on the mountain range called the Garden Wall, and at sunset see it blaze with scarlet light, and then fade into darkest purple and at last disappear into the black of night. On days when there was no sun, it turned grey [sic] and silver, and its reflection shimmered in the green-black waters of Lake McDonald. You were free to take a saddle-horse ride on those days when you didn't have to work, or to go fishing in the noisy streams in the afternoons." opening paragraphs, "T.H.E. P.O.I.S.O.N. T.R.E.E."
