Alan Keslian "It had never occurred to me to run a gay B & B, but Keslian's engaging characters gave me a happy account of what I may have missed." Ned Sherrin, June 2002 "a serious literary venture... examines how gay men fit into the straight world." The Pink Paper "The cast of characters - the accountant, the electrician, the gardener, the waif, the boys from the North - confound the idea that there are gay stereotypes." Gazebo Magazine "Forging recklessly into the rights and wrongs of gay relationships, this book aims at moral high ground rarely explored in contemporary gay fiction." Erato "They had come down to London determined to have fun, which to them meant drinking heavily, having casual sex, and maintaining their incessant loud and excited banter. When talking they often spat out their words like bursts of fire from a machine gun. They seemed to know every gay venue in London and what sort of crowd it attracted. They joked and teased each other tirelessly, involving anyone else in the vicinity in their foolery. They were always lively, often amusing, occasionally very funny, and in their regional dialect sometimes completely incomprehensible to anyone but each other." read more extracts... A novel likely to be enjoyed by all those who would like a fresh insight into what being gay is all about. Though gay characters predominate throughout, the ethos of the book makes it a good present from gay men to their 'straight' friends or relatives, or vice versa! 250 pages; £8.99; 978 0 9525964 9 3 Buy now by credit card...
