A Do-Si-Do With Death

Stan Kraychik has hung up his scissors, traded them in for a Private Eye license. Sometime nemesis, more often friend Boston PD Lt. Vito Branco, has a soft spot for Stan and sends him a tip: snoop around the First Annual Mucho Macho Honcho Competition being held at The Park Plaza Hotel. Paladin, a gay cowboy, has filed a police report that his Collar Tips had been stolen. Paladin, Mistress of Ceremonies Bistany Evans, DJ Colt Remington, seamstress Kitty, and cutie Chester are all Square Dancing ... around his questions. After a whole lotta dancin’ and hip twistin’ and general saaa-shayin’ about, stolen jewelry leads to murder. Kraychik has to do a Do-Si-Do with Death to solve this crime in time for his Memorial Day weekend cookout. The present supplement includes titles overlooked in the Bibliography Second Edition, plus works written before the 1981 cut-off date but published later, including works published for the first time in book form such as the original text of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray , posthumous works (the diaries of Christopher Isherwood and Joe Orton), unexpurgated editions (James Jones' From Here to Eternity ), and newly translated classics (e.g. Marcilio Ficino's Alcibiades the Schoolboy ; the letters of Marcus Aurelius; John Henry Mackay's novel Fenny Skaller ). The current study should be regarded not as a separate work but rather as a second, supplementary volume containing additional material. The two volumes together constitute a preliminary guide to classic (i.e. pre-1980's, pre-AIDS) gay and bisexual male literature.
