It is a treasure of letters written from one gay man to another gay
man nearly 60 years ago. "Gay Letters From Millicent to Maude" is a
restoration and an organized read; and although literature exists
on gay history none have been written from a 1950's historical
perspective of actual writings of two gay men which provides a
surprisingly original concept for readers. The humor and
sophistication of these letters is only rivaled by Millicent's and
Maude's preoccupation with Hollywood, theatre, gay culture and
fashion of the 1950's. Humorous and fast moving, this book is born
out of a desire to give all of us a better understanding of these
two high-spirited gay male debutantes who lived no matter what
happened at a time when gays were mistreated and sexual minorities
were second-class to the 1950's idealistic standards. Published
under the pseudonyms James Considere and Bill Edwards, the authors
reside in Palm Springs, southern California.
