Plot / Content:

"This is an in-depth anthology of fiction on gay themes by twenty-four writers . . . The book presents Latin American gays as part of a lively, fascinating social reality - as soldiers, businessmen, office workers, students, cattle ranchers, circus performers . . . Included are two complete novellas - one about homosexuality in the marines, the other about a sexual encounter between two high- school boys; also the brilliant Orgy - an erotic diary based on experiences in tropical Brazil. Almost 400 pages with thirty different selections by a dazzling array of talent."

Quote from this book
"He knew it must be the marine by that awkward way he had of walking, coming down hard on his heels, making a muffled noise on the wooden floor of the narrow hallway of that old rooming-house, which always exhaled a peculiar odor of garbage and ammonia, that ended exactly at the door of his room. Like a hunting-dog that suddenly discovers its prey, tenses its tail and stays perfectly motionless for a moment, he stopped reading and began to count the heavy footsteps of the boy, who usually stopped and knocked discreetly when he reached the door. His bony, swarthy face, whose growh of beard made it look even more severe, almost cruel, opened up in the wide smile of a man who has waited patiently for something and finally has obtained it."
