By the author of the award-winning leather history GAY SAN
FRANCISCO, SOME DANCE TO REMEMBER: A MEMOIR-NOVEL OF SAN FRANCISCO
1970-1982, and MAPPLETHORPE: ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY CAMERA. LEATHER
BLUES is a coming-out story of a rogue boy eager to lean the ropes
and rituals of leathermen. This exquisitely crafted novel of
initiation into bikes, bears, and man-to-man BDSM, pulls no punches
when Denny Sargent begins the Inferno rites of passage leathermen
must courageously endure to seal their special male bonding.
LEATHER BLUES is an intimately sophisticated odyssey of
hard-balling sex, of untender mercies, and of the night-hawks men
call "Riders of the Storm." Leather Roots: Jack Fritscher
specializes in writing about the Sexual Infinity of Leather. He is
the pioneer leather author who was the founding San Francisco
editor of the legendary DRUMMER magazine, the lover of photographer
Robert Mapplethorpe, and the longtime personal friend of leather
icons Larry Townsend and Sam Steward (Phil Andros). He has won many
awards including two National Leather Association-International
Literary Awards, the Pantheon of Leather Award, and the Erotic
Authors Association Lifetime Achievement Award. Critics have
praised Leather Blues as a classic in the "required reading" of
leather literature. Bottoms have come out on it. Tops have pushed
their skills. Readers curious about the leather scene come off
safely imagining themselves as fantasy players. "No one chronicles
the shadow-lands of American masculinity better than Jack
Fritscher." Mark Thompson, author, Leatherfolk "If Kenneth Anger
had written an SM novel after making his biker-orgy film Scorpio
Rising, it would be Leather Blues. Jack Fritscher is the master of
gay leather fiction." Larry Townsend, author, The Leatherman s
Handbook "Leather Blues is...terse and concentrated....distills the
1960s leather-biker-outlaw sex scene in just 91 memorable
pages....Fritscher, one of the great Drummer magazine editors,
seems to have been everywhere and done everyone during the good old
days of leather culture." david stein, author, Boots, Bondage, and
Beatings "Jack Fritscher is an anarchist of gay sexual prose, the
man who invented the South of Market leather prose style." John F.
Karr, Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco
