Just because I read it doesn't mean I'm gay!!!

Most fiction by English speaking gay writers these days is self-absorbed dreck, transpiring towards some crucial but excruciatingly icky passage concerning the protaganist and dad. This is different from everything, and trusting the translation, a masterfully written work, the style sort of jaded Joseph McElroy (who isn't gay either!), at the latter's most accessible.

Not Just "Gay Literature" at All...

This is the story of a modern, independend, diffident and yet compassionate Quixote. In travelling through Italy, Austria and Germany with a dumb, sleazy and acquisitive Sancho Panza (a dull, mean and cynical industrialist from Northern Italy) the protagonist skewers modern bourgeoisie and exposes all its hypocrisy and pretense. The final episode, featuring failed future candidate to the White House "Giorgina Washington," should be compulsory reading in the United States.
