The boy harlequin : and other stories
- Title
- The boy harlequin : and other stories
- Description
- Fourteen short stories from a now little-known American author Girard Kent, the nom-de-plume of a Texan writer named Lon Rogers. Though the collection did well enough for Gay Sunshine Press to bring out a second edition in 1985, its mildly distasteful blend of humour and eroticism has not dated well. Several stories feature sexual relationships between adolescent boys and adult men, and as a perceptive contemporary review in New Zealand magazine ‘Pink Triangle’ noted, the characters feel more like “fantasy material” than fully realised protagonists. ‘The Boy Harlequin’ was Kent’s first book, and he seems to have published nothing further, either under his own name or his pen name.
