Winner of the 1998 Lambda Literary Award for Photography and Visual Arts. In 1985 photographer Robert Giard set out to create an archive of portraits of gay and lesbian writers from across the United States. The result is the most extensive photographic record of the gay and lesbian literary community ever undertaken. This book contains 182 of the more than 500 portraits Giard has made. The collection underscores the diversity of the gay population and encompasses a broad range of literary genres: fiction, poetry, drama, personal narrative, history, criticism, and political/activist statements. Taken as a whole, the portraits and excerpts encompass the many-faceted history of the gay/lesbian experience in the United States over the past seventy-five years. The book also features a foreword by Julia VanHaaften, Curator of Photographs at the New York Public Library; an introduction by Giard, "Self-Portrait of a Gay Reader"; an essay by Christopher Bram on gay writing; and an essay by Joan Nestle on lesbian writing.

Jay: There's a question I've always wanted to ask someone.
Frank: What is it?
Jay: I hope you won't be offended.
Frank: Well, what? No, of course not. What?
Jay: Well -- you're heterosexual, aren't you?
. . .
Jay: Tell me, Frank, how long have you been heterosexual?
Frank: What do you mean? I've always been heterosexual!
. . .
Jay: Okay, Frank. Gee, I didn't think you'd be so touchy about it. Wow. (Brief pause) Tell me, is your play heterosexual?
Frank: (Snappy) You mean does it sleep with plays of the opposite sex?
Jay: (Delighted to have drawn wit) Oooo. Getting off, ain'tcha? Well, you know, you people do tend to let heterosexuality creep into all your work.
