  • Between Men: Best New Gay Fiction (2007)
    Lambda Literary Award-winning editor Richard Canning brings together all new work by Andrew Holleran, Dale Peck, Edmund White, James McCourt and others.

  • Vital Signs: Essential AIDS Fiction (2007), Richard Canning, ed. -- Finalist 2007 Lambda Literary Award for Anthologies
    Since first reports of a "gay cancer" in 1981, it has been hard to ignore the politics, polemic, and prejudice that gathered around AIDS. Yet a literary genre also emerged, and Vital Signs contains the very best of the extraordinary work created in America in response to our greatest contemporary health crisis.

    This collection documents the critical years of struggle, bravery, loss, and redemption in eighteen unique examples. Inventive, moving, humane, and uplifting, these stories show us how to live in times of uncertainty and adversity. They offer, indeed, a plethora of vital signs.

  • Hear Us Out: Conversations with Gay Novelists (2003)
    The author of the acclaimed Gay Fiction Speaks brings us new interviews with twelve prominent gay writers who have emerged in the last decade. Hear Us Out demonstrates how in recent decades the canon of gay fiction has developed, diversified, and expanded its audience into the mainstream. Readers will recognize names like Michael Cunningham, whose Pulitzer Prize--winning novel The Hours inspired the hit movie; and others like Christopher Bram, Bernard Cooper, Stephen McCauley, and Matthew Stadler. These accounts explore the vicissitudes of writing on gay male themes in fiction over the last thirty years -- prejudices of the literary marketplace; social and political questions; the impact of AIDS; commonalities between gay male and lesbian fiction... and even some delectable bits of gossip.  Also includes talks with Bernard Cooper, Colm Tóibín, Dale Peck, Gary Indiana, Jim Grimsley Paul Russell, Peter Cameron, and Philip Hensher

  • Gay Fiction Speaks (2001)
    Talks with
    Alan Hollinghurst, Allan Gurganus, Andrew Holleran, Armistead Maupin, David Leavitt, Dennis Cooper, Edmund White, Ethan Mordden, Felice Picano, James Purdy, John Rechy, and Patrick Gale


  • Today's most celebrated, prominent, and promising authors of gay fiction in English explore the literary influences and themes of their work in these revealing interviews with Richard Canning. Though the interviews touch upon a wide range of issues -- including gay culture, AIDS, politics, art, and activism -- what truly distinguishes them is the extent to which Canning encourages the authors to reflect on their writing practices, published work, literary forebears, and their writing peers -- gay and straight.
