Answer 2

I don't usually read "gay" literature. I have enjoyed all three of Christopher Rice's novels, although I wouldn't say the first two were particularly "gay." The most recent one is very good. "Light Before Day" is the title.

Christopher Rice is the son of Anne Rice, who's books are also very "gay" friendly, but not necessarily "gay." I like Christopher's portrayal of the underside of the homosexual community. I was particularly engaged by the way he wrote about the difference between gay people and pedophiles. He presented the difference by writing "real" and believable characters and then allowed them to show the difference. Great story.
