Описание книги

A legendary name from the Golden Age of Paperbacks, VICTOR J. BANIS spins a witty and exuberant tale of A Thousand and One Knights, flitting blithely from tale to tail, in one era and out the other. Part autobiography, part a history of the Gay Revolution, part writing manual, part juicy gossip, with a few tasty recipes thrown in for good measure, Spine Intact, Some Creases is a summing up – alternately hilarious and touching, instructive and impassioned, and always entertaining – of the remarkable life and work of a writer hailed by top gay pulp historian Michael Bronski as ?one of my heroes.? ?Banis' memoir provides a poignant history of West Coast paperback publishing in the Sixties, and one author's journey from small beginnings to critical and financial success as a writer – but it's far more than that: witty, elegantly written, funny, sad, smart, and even wise. Every penman-apprentice should read this book – twice!? – Robert Reginald

REMEMBRANCES OF A PAPERBACK WRITER

.....

I love to think that this book, Spine Intact, Some Creases—a witty and exuberant tale of A Thousand and One Knights, flitting blithely from tale to tail, in one era and out the other, alternately hilarious and touching, instructive and impassioned—was born in a similar vein and spirit.

That early 1999 meeting in San Francisco opened my eyes to a whole historical treasure lying beyond the rigorous exactitude of historical documents and textbooks, a treasure made of numberless “obscene” personal stories. The imaginative wealth Victor introduced me to (“friend?”) is part of myself, now. Just as it is an endearing portion of American emotional history—the history I learnt to respect, and to love.
