Jerry Applegate is beginning to think that he's the last gay male virgin in Chicago. And he's probably right. Join him as he embarks on a most hilarious odyssey through the gay bars of Chicago, searching for the perfect man to initiate him into The Life. Along the way he encounters go-go boys, G-strings, wire whisks, paddles, levitating video porn stars, Carmen Miranda hats, haughty drag queens, show tunes, politically incorrect attitudes, bejeweled wasps, talking cockroaches, singing telegrams, little boys floating up to the ceiling, massage oil, adorable hustlers cruising for free drinks, and maybe - just maybe! - the man of his dreams lip-syncing to Billie Holiday in a meat-rack tavern called The Blue Gardenia. "A funny, feel-good book, unafraid to make fun of anyone or anything. It's terrific." - Scott F. Turow, Presumed Innocent ". . . The most original and audacious writer on the scene today." - Robert Bahr, Celebrate the Self Newsletter " . . .

ON MY WAW TO YOU By Clay Burgess. A National Bestseller . . .Twenty-five years of sex and love, love and sex. Join Kansas Kidd in his adventurous pursuit for the ideal man and the ideal love. His story begins with sexual escapades on a beach in Maryland and then takes him on a life-long search for his Prince Charming. A frenchman, a bellhop, a cowboy and others are all part of the romantic encounters he uncovers. This piercing story is filled with erotic sex, passionate love and sensitive feeling. Kansas Kidd is someone we know. He is someone we love, and someone we hate . . . someone we laugh with, and someone we cry with. But most importantly, Kansas Kidd is someone who has something to teach us as his quest brings him face to face with himself. " . . . A remarkable, entertaining reading experience, one definitely worth repeating." - Lambda Book Report On My Way To You - 192 pages, 6x9 trade paper, ISBN 1-881555-07-0, $10.95. LONG DIVISION by Rudy Kikel. A Lambda Literary Award Finalist . . . "Long Division is a poetic autobiography of sorts, related in five parts that, rather than describing the events of a life, retell it as a series of meditations -- on places . . . on lovers . . . old friends . . . and odes to that oldest companion of all, his own body . . . With a voice that is at once fluid and natural and delicately conscious of its own appearance -- like an adolescent whose slightly awkward shyness is a product of his intense self-awareness, Kikel honestly and scrupulously reveals the emotional growth of a lifetime." The New York Native " . . . Kikel is, in the tradition of Oscar Wilde, stylish, elegant and clever." - Publishers Weekly " . . . A poet of enormous power." - The Advocate Long Division - 80 pages, 6x9 trade paper, ISBN 1-881555-04-6, $8.95 LAMBDA WRITERS RAP - a monthly newsletter for all gay and lesbian writers.
