A study of gay male fiction written between 1945 and 1995. It features close readings of works by White, Isherwood, Andrew Holleran, Gore Vidal, Larry Kramer, and many more. Woodhouse is egotistical enough to see in literary history ""my own roughly simultaneous history writ large"", and repeatedly exposes himself in this analysis of the history and nature of America's gay fiction.
