Dave Brandstetter Series
(A contentedly gay, ruggedly handsome death-claims investigator in Los Angeles, California.)
-
Fadeout (1972)
When entertainer Fox Olson's car plunges off a
bridge in a storm, a death claim is filed, but where is Olson's
body? As Brandstetter questions family, fans, and detractors, he
grows certain Olson is still alive and that Dave must find him
before the would-be killer does. Suspenseful and wry, shrewd and
deeply felt, Fadeout remains as fresh today as when it startled
readers more than thirty years ago.
-
Death Claims (1973)
When John Oats's body is found washed up on a
beach, his young lover April Stannard is sure it was no accident.
Brandstetter agrees: Oats's college-age son, the beneficiary of the
life insurance policy, has gone missing.
-
Troublemaker
(1975)
Dave investigates the murder of the owner of a
local gay bar. Appearances suggest that the only witness is also the
killer, but he swears he's innocent. Trouble is, he may be telling
the truth.

Something Inside: Conversations With Gay Fiction Writers
(1980, 1999) by Philip
Gambone, Compiler and
Robert Giard, Photographer
In the last twenty years, gay literature
has earned a place at the American and British literary tables,
spawning its own constellation of important writers and winning a
dedicated audience. No one though, until Philip Gambone, has attempted
to offer a collective portrait of our most important gay writers. This
collection of interviews attempts just that, and is notable both for
the depth of Gambone's probing conversations and for the sheer range
of important authors included. Virtually every prominent gay author
writing in English today is here, including
Alan Hollinghurst,
Allen Barnett,
Andrew Holleran,
Bernard Cooper,
Brad Gooch,
Brian Keith Jackson,
Christopher Bram,
David Leavitt,
David Plante,
Dennis Cooper,
Edmund White,
Gary Glickman,
John Preston,
Joseph Hansen, Lev Raphael,
Michael Cunningham,
Michael Lowenthal,
Michael Nava,
Paul Monette,
Peter Cameron, and
Scott Heim.
