Full Description
Before there was Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, vintage Pulp writer Lou Rand delivered this high-camp masterpiece in 1961. Set in Beat-era 'gay mecca-in-the-making' San Francisco, the novel's tightly-knit plot boasts a sissy gumshoe, his butch ex-marine assistant, a nymphomaniac on the make, and plenty of dishy humour. With a new introduction by Susan Stryker and Martin Meakar, this is a classically flamboyant whodunit. 'It's so flaming you could roast marshmallows over it' - Ann Bannon, author of Odd Girl Out
