  • Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer 189
    Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer 189 Leather Dolce Vita, Pop Culture, & the Prime of Mr. Larry Townsend Written by Jack Fritscher during October 1996 and published as the “Introduction” to The Leatherman’s Handbook Silver Anniversary Edition written by Larry Townsend, 1997; first edition of The Leatherman’s Hand- book, 1972. I. Author’s Eyewitness Historical-Context Introduction written December 12, 1999 II. The introductory essay as published in Larry Townsend, The Leatherman’s Handbook 25th Anniversary Edition, Los Angeles: LT Publications, 1997 III. Eyewitness Illustrations I. Author’s Eyewitness Historical-Context Introduction written December 12, 1999 If Drummer had not been dysfunctional all during 1997 and 1998 as it fell to its collapse this year with its last issue in April 1999, this historical essay about Larry Townsend, which was offered to the editors, might have been printed in Drummer in whole or in part. Larry Townsend deserved this kind of full attention from Drummer. In 1972-1975, he had been a part of the group founding the LA newsletter, H.E.L.P./Drummer, which evolved into Drummer itself. (H.E.L.P. is the acronym for “Homophile Effort for Legal Protection.”) Author Townsend and publisher Embry, however, had certain dis- agreements, and Townsend kept his work out of Drummer for the first five years because, Townsend told me, he knew he’d “never be paid.” There was little love lost between Townsend and Embry. They were both the same LA vintage; and they were both autocrat tycoons of mail order. Because they had similar post office-box addresses, Townsend told me that some customers thought they were the same mail-order company, and he grew tired of explaining to some of the disgruntled that they should complain to Embry because their business was with Embry.

  • John Rechy Wins Lifetime Achievement Award from the Texas Institute of Letters
    John Rechy Wins Lifetime Achievement Award from the Texas Institute of Letters October 23, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Texas Institute of Letters proudly announces the naming of John Rechy, El Paso native and best-selling novelist, as the winner of the prestigious Lon Tinkle Award for Lifetime Achievement. This is the highest honor given by the TIL, which was established in 1936 to recognize and celebrate the state’s literary artists. The award will be presented to Rechy in Georgetown, Texas at its March 28, 2020 Awards Banquet. Rechy is the author of fourteen novels, two non-fiction books, three plays, a memoir, numerous essays and literary reviews, and books which have become classics in the core curriculum of Chicano Literature, American Studies, and Gay Fiction. His books have been translated into twenty languages. TIL President Carmen Tafolla calls Rechy’s work “a significant turning point in modern American literature, and a prose so poetically crafted it sharpens our perception of both the beauty and the ache of the human experience.” Called by Gore Vidal “One of the few original American writers of the last century” Rechy is the first novelist to receive PEN USA WEST’s Lifetime Achievement Award (1997.)When John Rechy published his first novel, City of Night (1963), it became a national bestseller and marked a groundbreaking departure in American literature, ushering in a new era of gay fiction. Larry McMurtry said of it, “Probably no novel published in this decade is so complete, so well held together, and so important as City of Night.” The Washington Post called it “one of the major books to be published since World War II.”) Rechy has been widely acclaimed, and among his honors are the 2018 Lambda Literary Award, the William Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement, and UC Santa Barbara’s Luis Leal Award.

  • Heteronormativity and Obscenity in Cold War Los Angeles
    The Clearly Obscene and the Queerly Obscene: Heteronormativity and Obscenity in Cold War Los Angeles Whitney Strub American Quarterly, Volume 60, Number 2, June 2008, pp. 373-398 (Article) Published by The Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: 10.1353/aq.0.0009 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/aq/summary/v060/60.2.strub.html Access Provided by The College of New Jersey at 09/07/10 12:00AM GMT Heteronormativity and Obscenity in Cold War Los Angeles | 373 The Clearly Obscene and the Queerly Obscene: Heteronormativity and Obscenity in Cold War Los Angeles Whitney Strub quirming on the witness stand, pressed for a definition of obscenity, Los Angeles Police Department vice squad officer Donald Shaidell grew Sdefensive. He knew Kenneth Anger’s filmFireworks , with its homoerotic imagery of sailors, public bathrooms, phallic symbols, and milky fluids, was obscene, but the defendant’s attorney demanded further clarification of the word’s meaning. “I don’t have a dictionary with me, counsel,” Shaidell growled, before finally explaining, “obscene is something that isn’t general practice by the public.”1 Shaidell’s reluctantly given definition communicated on levels unintended by the beleaguered vice officer in 1958. For in cold war Los Angeles, obscenity charges indeed operated precisely as enforcing agents of a normative regime of sexual politics predicated on the suppression of the noncompliant, with homosexuality as the key offender. Such charges were systematically deployed in the interests of heteronormativity, utilized for a variety of interlocking ends: the literal erasure of homosexual visibility, the cultural conflation of the queer with the obscene, and the targeting of queer community formations for destruction.2 As such, these obscenity charges fit wholly into the political matrices of the cold war.
