Published well ahead of its time, in by Greenleaf Classics, Song of the Loon is a lusty gay frontier romance that tells the story of Ephraim MacIver, a 19th-century outdoorsman, and his travels through the American wilderness, where he meets a number of characters who share with him stories, wisdom and homosexual encounters. The most popular erotic gay book of the s, Song of the Loon was the inspiration for two sequels, a film of the same name, at least one porn movie, and a parody novel. Unique among pulp novels of the time, the gay characters in Song of the Loon are strong and romantically drawn, traits which have earned the book a place in the canon of gay American literature.

While at first glance Song of the Loon seems to be little more than an overripe sexual picaresque, very quickly the physical journey that structures the narrative begins taking on deep psychospiritual resonances as each handsome and hunky man the main character encounters helps him understand and embrace some part of his physical attraction to other men. The intentionally grandiose tone and mythic aspirations can seem rather overwrought and more than a bit silly when read today; perhaps even more difficult to tolerate is the representation of Native American culture and individuals, which is the stuff of "noble savage" archetypes. It makes complete sense that Amory's book became such a touchstone for an entire generations of gay men. To be quite honest, I kind of regret that my own generation hasn't really been capable of retaining a space for this type of thing within our own tenuously maintained queer culture. Gerry Burnie.

Imagine, therefore, that the Song of the Loon, by Richard Amory [re-released by Arsenal Pulp Press, May 1, ] was first published three years before Stonewall, and 16 years before the Bathhouse Raids. That make it a true artefact, and as an unapologetic homoerotic novel, it is also somewhat of a legend. They were. However, they were generally badly written, and could only be purchased through P. Although Gay Boy Bert Meyer Pics was aware of Song of the Loon, and remember the making of themotion picture version, starring John Iverson, Morgan Royce and Lancer Ward, I never got around to reading the novel until now. I was struck, therefore, by the amount of sexual content albeit not as explicitly written as today and the gutsyness of the both the author and publisher in publishing it. The plot Gay Boy Bert Meyer Pics style are noteworthy, as well. This is not to belittle the story in any way, for I think we have all wished for a Garden of Eden existence where the inhabitants are all hunky and horny, the risks are minimal, and homophobia does not exist. If you are looking for the ultimate feel good story, you should give this one a try. Enthusiastically recommended. Four bees. SONG OF THE LOON is a strange book -- too porny to be a mere sylvan romance, but too idyllic to approximate conventional expectations of pornography, gay or straight. A lone wanderer takes on the American West of the late 19th Century, meets all kinds of men from all kinds of cultures frequently Native American and ends most chapters with the sharing of ideals and orgasms. One oft-quoted description of the book describes it as a mash-up of James Fenimore Cooper and Jean Genet, to which I might add Jean-Jacques Rosseau, because the "savages" encountered are quite noble indeed. The overarching theme seems to be that true love at least, the same-sex kind is impossible within the constraints of Victorian-American "culture" and Judaeo-Christian "civilization. Middle-class aspirations are a trap. It all sounds very Sixties, doesn't it? As silly as it sounds, there's a sweetness to this book that has beguiled several generations of gay readers since it was first published in Other than LOON, the dominant themes in the novels of homosexual relationships of the period were closetedness and guilt consider GIOVANNI'S ROOM before the rise of gay liberation in the Seventies, and then moving away from that closet afterward DANCER FROM THE DANCE, say. LOON does get repetitious and formulaic, but there's nothing like this book, including its lack of exploitation or oppression. Be sure to read it, but feel free to skip the softcore film adaptation from My husband asked me to read this years ago, so I did.

The books had to be much shorter then any other kind of book at the time just because it had gay content, and chances were even if you came in under the word count the publisher would butcher half the work all while sneering down their noses at the author.

However, i found the writing and story to be beautiful, lyrical and just showing great kindness towards ones fellow man. One could call it hokey, but I say it is just wonderful The book itself was kind of boring?
