The sexual outlaw

  • John Rechy

0

0 ratings

From Goodreads:

In this angry, eloquent outcry against the oppression of homosexuals, the author of the classic City of Night gives "an explosive non-fiction account, with commentaries, of three days and nights in the sexual underground" of Los Angeles in the 1970s—the "battlefield" of the sexual outlaw. Using the language and techniques of the film, Rechy deftly intercuts the despairing, joyful, and defiant confessions of a male hustler with the "chorus" of his own subversive reflections on sexual identity and sexual politics, and with stark documentary reports our society directs against homosexuals—"the only minority against whose existence there are laws."
