Bourbon Street Blues by Greg Herren5/18/2023 Brite has long written some of the most realistic and honest gay male characters, going back to books like Lost Souls and Exquisite Corpse. So, without further adieu, here is Greg’s Top Ten Gay Books (in no particular order):ġ) Second Line by Poppy Z. To that end, I am not going to name any of the obvious titles ( Dancer from the Dance by Andrew Holleran, The Front Runner by Patricia Nell Warren, etc) and since the request was for gay books, I am going to be literal and not name any books by lesbians ( Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, People in Trouble by Sarah Schulman, anything by Jess Wells, etc.). However, I do as I’m told, and I do appreciate this opportunity to bring attention to some books people may have missed in their reading. It’s really difficult to narrow my favorites down to a mere ten. And so I'm more than glad to host Greg Herren and his Inside Reader list today. Being the success and award collector that it was, I think that author was right. I think it was recommended to me by another mystery writer, as an example of how you can write a mystery appealing to a wider audience.
