In The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film (2005), scholar Drewey
Wayne Gunn examined the history of gay detectives beginning with
the first recognized gay novel, The Heart in Exile, which appeared
in 1953. In the years since the original edition's publication,
hundreds of novels and short stories in this sub-genre have been
produced, and Gunn has unearthed many additional representations
previously unrecorded. In this new edition, Gunn provides an
overview of milestones in the development of gay detectives over
the last several decades. Also included in this volume is an
annotated list of novels, short stories, plays, graphic novels,
comic strips, films, and television series with gay detectives, gay
sleuths of secondary importance, and non-sleuthing gay policemen.
The most complete listing available-including the only listing of
early gay pulp novels, present-day male-to-male romances, and
erotic films-this new edition brings the work up to date with
publications missed in the first edition, particularly cross-genre
mysteries, early pulps, and some hard-to-find volumes. The Gay Male
Sleuth in Print and Film: A History and Annotated Bibliography
lists all printed works in English (including translations)
presently known to include gay detectives (such as amateur sleuths,
police detectives, private investigators, and investigative
reporters), from the 1929 play Rope until the present day. It
includes all films in English, subtitled or dubbed, from the screen
version of Rope in 1948 and the launch of the independent film Spy
on the Fly in 1966 through the end of 2011. Complete with two
appendices-a bibliography of sources and a list of Lambda Literary
Awards-and indexes of titles, detectives, and actors, this
extensively revised and updated reference will prove invaluable to
mystery collectors, researchers, aficionados of the subgenre, and
those devoted to GLBTQ studies.
