Poems (1988)
The Swimming-Pool Library (1988) - Winner 1988 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Men's First Novel and #34 of the 100 Best Gay and Lesbian Novels. "This controversial, darkly erotic novel of male homosexuality and promiscuity before the scourge of AIDS was "easily one of the year's (1988) most important debuts." -- Ingram
The Folding Star (1994) - -- Winner 1994 Lambda Literary Award for Male Fiction "In self-imposed exile in an ancient Flemish city, an embittered 33-year-old language tutor, Edward Manners, falls in love with his alluring 17-year-old pupil, Luc Altidore. As Edward pursues the elusive object of his infatuation--and plunges into affairs with two other men--this book interweaves past and present, history and memory, into a tapestry of unfulfillable desire." -- Amazon
The Spell (1999) "Here are the interlocking affairs of four men: Robin Woodfield, an architect in his late forties trying to build an idyllic life in Dorset with his young lover, Justin, a would-be actor increasingly disenchanted with the countryside; Robin's attractive and dangerously volatile twenty-two-year-old son Danny; and Justin's former boyfriend Alex, whose life is unexpectedly transformed by a night of house music and a tab of
ecstasy." Amazon
The Line of Beauty (2004) --
Finalist, 2004 Lambda Literary Award for Male Fiction
In the summer of 1983, twenty-year-old
Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the
Feddens: conservative Member of Parliament Gerald, his wealthy wife
Rachel, and their two children, Toby-whom Nick had idolized at
Oxford-and Catherine, highly critical of her family's assumptions and
ambitions. ¶As the boom years of the eighties unfold, Nick, an innocent
in the world of politics and money, finds his life altered by the rising
fortunes of this glamorous family. His two vividly contrasting love
affairs, one with a young black clerk and one with a Lebanese
millionaire, dramatize the dangers and rewards of his own private
pursuit of beauty, a pursuit as compelling to Nick as the desire for
power and riches among his friends.

Something Inside: Conversations With Gay Fiction Writers
(1980, 1999) by Philip
Gambone, Compiler and
Robert Giard,
Photographer
In the last twenty years, gay
literature has earned a place at the American and British literary
tables, spawning its own constellation of important writers and winning
a dedicated audience. No one though, until Philip Gambone, has attempted
to offer a collective portrait of our most important gay writers. This
collection of interviews attempts just that, and is notable both for the
depth of Gambone's probing conversations and for the sheer range of
important authors included. Virtually every prominent gay author writing
in English today is here, including Alan
Hollinghurst, Allen Barnett,
Andrew Holleran,
Bernard Cooper,
Brad Gooch,
Brian Keith Jackson,
Christopher Bram,
David Leavitt,
David Plante,
Dennis Cooper,
Edmund White,
Gary Glickman,
John Preston,
Joseph Hansen,
Lev Raphael,
Michael Cunningham,
Michael Lowenthal,
Michael Nava,
Paul Monette,
Peter Cameron, and
Scott Heim.
