WILL AITKEN: TERRE HAUTE 
Set in the Indiana town of the same name, Terre Haute is the story of one very memorable year in the life of Jared McCaverty, a boy who has just discovered sex but has yet to discover what it means. Spoiled by his rich family, he is able to live in a fantasy world filled with films, art and day dreams. Yet when his thoughts of other boys begin to turn into reality, he comes to realise that sex can be a very powerful weapon - especially when used against a married man. (pp 274), paper, 42,40

LUIS MIGUEL FUENTES : DIARY OF A DIRTY BOY. COLLECTED WRITINGS 
Many readers of since lost periodicals and paperback anthologies were enthralled by a writer they first thought to be years older, only to fall in love with the actual boy who was thirteen when these stories began to appear. Luis Miguel Fuentes writes out of his own experience of growing up poor in New York. It is a world where family ties are utterly broken, where police fear to tread, where drugs, murder, sex in all its variations prevail, where a young boy is forced to become independent long before his voice has changed. Luis paints this world in all its color and harshness and tells of is sexual liaisons with men and boys, his fights, his loves and his losses. A vivid glimpse into his life, frequently tragic but often catching an intense kind of beauty, in a ghetto most Americans would prefer to believe exists only in TV cop shows. (pp 180), paper, 34,40

GAYME, VOL. 4 NR. 1 
This issue opens with an article by Mitzel in which he takes a look at the situation thirty years after the Stonewall riots. In "A Gentle Shame" Oliver J. Haas examines a telling recent case of the way Japan deals with homosexual indiscretion. Shneur argues why raising the young in a cocoon of fantasy has become a moral imperative in the West, while Bill Andriette inquires why the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission is silent as homosexuals are imprisoned, mutilated, and killed. In "J.G. Brown's Boys" D.H. Mader reflects on the work of this 19th-century artist who captured not just the street Arabs of America's cities but a whole way of looking at boyhood. An excerpt from William Armstrong Perry III's Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece answers the question what went on when men and boys met for food, wine, talk, and flirting in the salons of ancient Greece. In the photography section Roger Moody looks at one of the latest books by Will McBride, an American expatriate photographer who has produced "one of the most significant works of humanist art for our time". Six pages (four in full color) are devoted to a selection of photographs from Hector Vallencao. He captures both the joy and the cool self-possession of the young men he photographs. The fiction in this issue is by R.C. Khruti ("Samual") Kevin Esser ("Visions of Pan"), and Stephen Dueweke ("And Your Bird Can Sing"). As usual this issue of Gayme is lavishly illustrated with black & white photographs. (pp 80), stapled, 27,50

PHILIP JENKINS : MORAL PANIC. CHANGING CONCEPTS OF THE CHILD MOLESTER IN MODERN AMERICA 
It is commonly acknowledged that sexual abuse of children is a grave and pervasive problem and that child molesters are predators who compulsively repeat their crimes and have little hope of cure. Yet as recently as twenty years ago many experts viewed the problem as a far less serious one, declaring that molestation was very rare and that molesters were merely confused individuals unlikely to repeat their offenses. Over the past century, opinion has fluctuated between these radically different perspectives. This timely book traces shifting social responses to adult sexual contacts with children, whether this involves molestation by strangers or incestuous acts by family members. The book explores how and why concern about the sexual offender has fluctuated in North America since the late nineteenth century. Philip Jenkins argues that all concepts of sex offenders and offenses are subject to social, political, and ideological influences and that no particular view of offenders represents an unchanging objective reality. He examines the various groups (including mass media) which have been active in promoting particular constructions of sex offenses, the impact of public attitudes on judicial and legislative responses to these crimes, and the ways in which demographic change, gender politics, and morality campaigns have shaped public opinion. While not minimizing the sexual abuse of children, the book thus places reactions to the problem in a broad political and cultural context. (pp 302), hard cover, 79,90

CHRIS KENT : THE BOYS OF SWITHINS HALL 
The Boys of Swithins Hall, set in an English boys' boarding school, is the story of Tim Dunn's sexual awakening - in overdrive. Tim is as randy as Tom Jones, as adventurous as James Bond, and as gay as Oscar Wilde; it's a nice combination. When a boy begs, "Please sir, I'd like some more," you can be certain that he isn't after a second helping of gruel. If you remember with nostalgia the gay English school boy tales of the early 20th century, you will be rejuvenated by The Boys of Swithins Hall. "Boys will be boys" has never been so sexy a promise, and a "stiffie" does not refer to fancied English inhibitions which don't appear here. (pp 190), paper, 37,50

WILL MCBRIDE : COMING OF AGE. PHOTOGRAPHS 
Children's emotional lives are hidden to most. They give up their identities only to those with a talent for being; for living with sincerety, for welcoming each moment, for listening. Will McBride is one of those talented photographers - his collaboration with the subjects of his work, with the young boys he has befriended, has resulted in one of the great extended photographic portraits of male adolescence. McBride has spent forty years seeking out children in the transition to adulthood, photographing privileged high school students, boys scratching out their lives on the gritty streets of Frankfurt, a fifteen-year-old Spanish bullfighter, and a modern Siddhartha story in India. In McBride's work, the child's joy and sense of self is in tension with the strictures of the adult world and with his own evolving sensuality. The boys in McBride's pictures fall in love, seek comfort, display their bravado, suffer deeply, and play with unfettered energy. Although born into a world of conflicting messages and expectations, the young men coming of age in McBride's photographs are at ease in their bodies and free of spirit. Introduction by Guy Davenport. (pp 112), hard cover, 115,00

PETER RYDE : A GOOD START, CONSIDERING 
As the Second World War comes to an end, an eleven-year-old London boy finds himself alone in the world. Alan Carey lost his parents in an air raid, and his grandmother dies as he is about to start at grammar school. He is taken into Barton House, a gaunt children's home Victorian in more ways than one, where his fellow inmates are variously disturbed, and the staff range from hostile to vicious; soon Alan falls prey to systematic sexual abuse from the sadistic Jacko, with ensuing confusion and shame. The teenage brother of a schoolfriend offers him love and affection, but the adult world soon comes between them, and even conspires to cast Alan as the guilty seducer. In just twelve months, a bright and sociable boy learns that no grown-up can be trusted, and settles instead for a fierce and repressed independence. (pp 295), paper, 42,40

DAVID SONENSCHEIN: PEDOPHILES ON PARADE (2 VOLUMES) Volume 1: THE MONSTER IN THE MEDIA. 
Using data collected over a decade, this volume documents popular ideas of adult - youth sexual relations from the mid-1970s to the 1990s, a period now known for its child sexual abuse hysteria. Looking critically at both fiction (including film) and journalism, core elements of villians, victims, and heroes are described and shown to be interconnected. Sources widely distributed as well as those more inaccessible are examined and tied to a variety of products and processes of American culture to yield the most complete and in-depth study yet available of this crucial period and issue. Volume 2: THE POPULAR IMAGERY OF MORAL HYSTERIA. The child sex abuse hysteria of the 1980s serves as a reference point for a far-ranging cultural survey of the ways sexual villains, victims, and heroes have been constructed and used in America. Including an extensive and unique chapter on "The Sexual Child" - one of the most avoided and undocumented subjects in history, social science, and policy research - a number of contemporary and historical influences are brought together for the first time around the subject of adult - youth sexual relations.

WILLIAM TAYLOR : THE BLUE LAWN 
David is 15 and the star player of his school's rugby team. Sixteen-year-old Theo is an outsider, attractive but not altogether likable, and not particularly interested in making friends. In this award-winning novel set in New Zealand, initial hostility between the boys turns into an unlikely friendship - which masks a growing attraction that neither boy understands. In the pages of The Blue Lawn, author William Taylor explores the angst, confusion, and desires experienced by gay teens the world over. Whether you are a young adult or a not-so-young adult you will identify with and be swept away by David and Theo's engaging relationship. (pp 122), paper, 27,50 - - -
