Like Father, Like Son
San Diego: Publishers Export Co., Inc., 1967. 1st Edition. 12mo, publisher’s stiff illustrated paper wraps, all edges stained in yellow.
Pre-Stonewall gay pulp paperback about mob boss Vic Ponzotello’s obsession with his associate’s beautiful young son. A product of the "gay pulp boom," the book is an example of the great gains in literary freedom of expression made by American publishers after a series of federal court decisions made between the mid-1950s to 70s. Like many gay works of the times, the prose elides explicit content with innuendo and double-entendre. Published as HES102 in the publisher's Human Experience series. Light rubbing, soiling, and edgewear to wraps. Very good. Item #12925
