Fiction of Gay Interest
Plot / Content: Rating: G "1960, and in the slums of South London two teenage boys discover each other in a motorbike gang. Their friendship develops in this tough male society of petty crime; almost imperceptibly it unfolds into love. But love has no place in the world of the leather boys, and the conflicts of this relationship threaten a violent end." (from the cover) Background / Biography: Originally published 1960 under pseudonym of "Elliot George". GMP edition has introduction by Antony Blond, original publisher. Reviews: "A sober and scrupulously documented account of proletarian homosexual love. What this novel does, accurately and touchingly, is to demonstrate the unselfconscious and comparatively guiltless love which working-class men often feel for each other." Time and Tide "Realistic and unsentimental ... Their relationship is handled with delicacy and has an authentic ring" Sunday Telegraph (from the cover) "What makes The Leather Boys unique is its utter believability, despite its lack of literary roots or precedent." from MF review Arbery Books also sells secondhand and rare non-gay fiction and non-fiction.
