Gay literature covers a wide range of genres - from romance, to historical fiction to urban vampire novels. Yet what each of these genres seem to all involve is some element of romance. In nearly every title presented here, the narrative involves the generic plot line of boy (or girl) meets boy (or girl), they fall in love, then out of love, in love again, out of love again…sometimes this involves finding out the boy (or girl) is a vampire or werewolf or ghost…and then they fall in love again. Keep in mind, that this is a short list of titles and therefore not exhaustive. There are literally hundreds of titles and series to chose from and I encourage you to explore these genres on your own as you start recommending titles to patrons. ! !2 Romance. • Abigal Roux, Cut & Run.

During her college years she was influenced by the lesbian novels “The Well of Loneliness,” by Radclyffe Hall, and “Spring Fire,” by Vin Packer. At 24, Bannon published her first novel, “Odd Girl Out.” Born Ann Weldy, she adopted the pen name Ann Bannon because she did not want to be associated with lesbian pulps. Although she was married to a man, she secretly spent weekends in Greenwich Village exploring the lesbian nightlife. Between 1957 and 1962, she wrote “I Am A Woman,” “Women in the Shadows,” “Journey to a Woman” and “Beebo Brinker.” Together they constitute the “The Beebo Brinker Chronicles.” The series centers on young lesbians living in Greenwich Village and is noted for its accurate and sympathetic portrayal of gay and lesbian life. “We were exploring a corner of the human spirit that few others were writing about, or ever had,” said Bannon, “And we were doing it in a time and place where our needs and hopes were frankly illegal.” In 1980, when her books were reprinted, she claimed authorship of the novels. In 2004, “The Beebo Brinker Chronicles” was adapted into a successful stage play.

  • Pulp Paperbacks and Their Covers by Teresa Theophano
    The cover of Ann Bannon's Odd Girl Out as reissued by Cleis Press. Courtesy of Cleis Press. Pulp Paperbacks and Their Covers by Teresa Theophano Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com As much an artifact of lesbian popular culture as a source of amusing kitsch in today's more tolerant political climate, pulp fiction paperbacks (named for the inexpensive paper on which they were printed) remain a fascinating slice of life from the 1950s and 1960s. It was hard to miss those cheap books with their lurid covers and "shocking" tag lines, such as "She Hated Men and Turned to a Lesbian for Comfort!" Strangely enough, unlike today, lesbian-themed novels were easily available in almost any drugstore--and their publishers unknowingly provided a kind of lifeline for gay women living in a terrifically oppressive time. While some of these books were penned by men using female pseudonyms, the majority were written by lesbians for lesbians. Despite the buxom cover models featured to help sell the books to a male audience, there was some fairly serious literature among the pulp ranks. Indeed, author Ann Bannon, whose first pulpy book Odd Girl Out was published by Gold Medal in 1957, refers to the 1950s and 1960s as the "Golden Age of lesbian writing and publication." Mixed in with the ultra-sleazy "adult" titles such as Satan Was a Lesbian (1966) and Killer Dyke (1964), which were clearly intended to function as soft-core pornography, were some profound examinations of lesbian life, such as Claire Morgan's [that is, Patricia Highsmith's] The Price of Salt (1952), Ann Bannon's Beebo Brinker series (1957-1962), Valerie Taylor's A World Without Men (1963), and even reprints of Gale Wilhelm's Torchlight to Valhalla (1938) and Radclyffe Hall's classic The Well of Loneliness (1928).

MARGE: She joined the trio of sexual perverts. The majority of the female customers were dressed in mannish costume. Agent recommends the revocation of liquor license for Mary’s First and Last Chance Bar on the grounds that it is a resort for sex perverts. HOST: Just two days before Christmas 1959, the ruling comes down on Mary’s First and Last Chance, a lesbian bar in Oakland, California. After the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board orders the revocation of the bar’s liquor license on the grounds that it’s a “resort for sex perverts,” bar owners Mary Azar and Albert Vallerga hire attorney Morris Lowenthal. Lowenthal has previously defended the Black Cat Café. Throughout Lowenthal’s appeals process, he defends Mary’s First and Last by using the Daughters of Bilitis as an example of the bar’s clientele. Look at these upstanding, law-abiding, gendernormative citizens! These women wear skirts and have long hair. On December 23, 1959, the California Supreme Court rules in favor of Mary’s First and Last Chance.

With Odd Girl Out, Bannon introduces Laura Landon, whose love affair with her college roommate Beth launched the lesbian pulp fiction genre. This is the first in what is usually referred to as the Beebo Brinker series (even though Beebo doesnt appear in this book). Laura and Beth are roommates who fall in love. This is set (and written) in the 1950s, so, of course there is doubt on the part of both girls (especially Beth) about their feelings for one another, and Beth has a boyfriend in addition to her relationship with Laura. The ending is not unpredictable, but does set the scene for the next three books in the series: I am a Woman, Women in the Shadows, and Journey to a Woman. Although not my favorite book in the series (that would probably be I am a Woman, or Beebo Brinker), it is a pretty good read, and a good place to start in reading this series.
