macartney asked: Re "gay" protagonist: "In A Strange Room" by Damon Galgut, "Ground Zero" by Andrew Holleran (non-fiction but reads like a novel), "Maurice" by E.M. Forster, "At Swim: Two Boys" by Jamie O'Neill, "The Story of the Night" by Colm Toibin, "Another Country" by James Baldwin... to name just a few of my favorites off the top of my head. Also highly recommend "The Faber Book of Gay Short Fiction" edited by Ed White in 1992 to get a wide taste of lots of different great authors.
Great choices here. Galgut is wonderful. And I was wondering when someone would mention Maurice. A shame some of Forster’s smuttier writing met with that fiery end.
