Description
Published way ahead of its time in 1966 by Greenleaf Classics, republished in 2006 by Arsenal Pulp Press. A lusty gay frontier romance that tells the story of Ephraim McIver, a 19th century frontiersman, as he travels through the American wilderness. Ephraim meets a number of characters who share stories, wisdom and homosexual encounters. Unique among pulp novels of the time, the gay characters are strong and romantically drawn - traits that have earned the book a place in the canon of gay American literature.
Reviews
"Song of the Loon changed my fantasy life forever. Michael Bronski's comprehensive introduction is an important bonus, a superb delineation of the historical and literary context. This new edition is certain to have the same impact on the today's generations of queer young cowboys as it did on mine." - Thomas Waugh, author of Hard to Imagine and Lust Unearthed"
