In the years following World War II, a group of gay writers—Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, and Allen Ginsberg among them—established themselves as major cultural figures in America. Their writing introduced the nation to gay experience and sensibility, and changed its literary culture forever; it set the stage for new generations to build on what they had begun, including writers such as Edmund White, Armistead Maupin, Edward Albee and Tony Kushner. In EMINENT OUTLAWS, Christopher Bram chronicles fifty years of momentous cultural change through the lives and work of gay writers who shaped and wrote about it—showing how the story of these men is crucial to understanding the social and cultural history of the American 20th century.
