Truckers
by Johnny HansenHard-driving truckers climb out of their big rigs and get down to business in this raw, lusty collection.Truckers have long been ingrained in the American popular imagination, celebrated in movies like Smokey and the Bandit and many a country-western ballad. They're also a favorite queer sexual icon, joining such types as sailors, cops, firemen, and other guys who "service society." For some gay men, life on the road conjures up images of hairy, sweaty, blue-collar joes traveling from town to town in their big 18-wheelers, pulling into all-night diners, gas stations, cheap motels, and highway rest stops for food, rest, companionship - and sex. These erotic encounters are the subject of this collection of trucker tales. Editor Johnny Hansen has assembled 19 true stories of men who deliver much more than what's back in the trailer. In one story, a four-way pileup in a highway men's room gives new meaning to the word "convoy." In another, a 19-year-old experiences first love - and lust - on a cross-country tour with a strapping Mack driver. In this one-of-a-kind collection, "good buddies" from across the U.S. reveal their hottest experiences on - and on the side of - the road.

True Blue
by Connie BaileyIt wasn't the first time Heydn Case had to transfer to a new school, but Acton-Pierce Academy was the prep school of choice for people with a lot more money than he had. As always, the good-natured Texan was hoping to find a friend; his assigned roommate was hoping to be left alone and said so rather bluntly. Heydn had never met anyone quite like Blue Barclay, the campus's resident eccentric loner, but the two young men soon find they have more in common than they might have imagined. Friendship quickly takes on a new dimension of physical intimacy accompanied by bewildering new feelings. However, Blue and Heydn are given little time to explore and understand what is growing between them before they're pulled apart. Heydn is chosen for the track team and befriended by a popular senior. Fearing, rightly, that their relationship would cost him the place he's won at Acton, Heydn turns his back on Blue. He feels he's made the right choice for his future, but when Blue finds a new friend, Heydn realizes he's made a terrible mistake. Is it too late for him to try to win Blue's heart again?

But their search for the truth about the elusive Anderton takes them on a journey of self-discovery in which they learn more about their own secrets and lies than they ever wanted to know.

Truman Capote: A Literary Life at the Movies (The South on Screen)
by Tison PughThe author of Queer Chivalry presents a biographical study of the celebrity writer &“rich with insight into [his] literary and cinematic achievements&” (Publishers Weekly). Truman Capote&’s legacy is in many ways defined by his complex relationship with Hollywood. In Truman Capote: A Literary Life at the Movies, Tison Pugh explores the author and his literature through a cinematic lens, weaving elements of Capote&’s biography—including his flamboyant public persona and his friendships and feuds with notable stars—with critical analysis of the films, screenplays, and adaptations of his works. Capote&’s masterful prose made him an iconic twentieth century author, and his screenplays, including Beat the Devil, Indiscretion of an American Wife, and The Innocents, allowed him to collaborate with such Hollywood heavyweights as Humphrey Bogart, John Huston, and David O. Selznick. But the beloved and acclaimed adaptations of his literature, most notably Breakfast at Tiffany&’s and In Cold Blood, undercut his daring treatment of homosexuality in favor of heterosexual romance. Pugh demonstrates how Capote&’s gay southern identity influenced perceptions of his literature and its adaptations. Illuminating Capote&’s successes and disappointments in the film industry, Pugh delivers a revealing and nuanced portrait of the author&’s literary life.
