"Congratulations to Paradise Press for surviving so long in a hostile climate (or worse, an indifferent one). Small-press years are like dog years, and it's great that you're still wagging your tail." Adam Mars-Jones


     

GAY LOVE OR HOLY WAR?

The latest publication from Paradise Press is Homo Jihad, a powerful first novel from Timothy Graves. Londoner David Underwood must choose between his new lover, an Israeli Jew, and his ex, Ahmed, who suddenly comes back into his life. It's a A "compelling gay love story capturing the zeitgeist" (Amjeed Kabil, author of Straightening Ali), that is bound to grip readers from every social and religious background.

Gay's The Word bookshop in London was full to overflowing at the launch of Homo Jihad in May as these pictures show. Extracts from the novel were warmly received, particularly because it is one of the rare books to depict the contemporary gay scene in London.
