atmo sphere, and even one’s visual sense...is enough to guaran tee...
sensational status for many, many years.”
—Q, Philadel phia Gay News

“Jack Fritscher has roamed the furthest corners of sexuality, and
can lead you on head trips unequaled by any other Gay writer
I know of. You may resist, as I did, some of the aggres sion,
machismo, and sexual practices only to be won over by Frit-
scher’s prose....[He] writes with sweat and wit, dirt and desire.
Fritscher is a knee to the groin....His sex...is aggres sive, abusive,
extreme, and at times (I have to say it), politically incorrect. But
his free-wheeling prose creates a believable world of hedonistic
sensuality. Forms of sex some readers might find unpalatable in
life become arousing within the realm of fantasy, and Fritscher’s
work is clearly such. Within Fritscher’s forbidden world we are
safe, and that is what fiction is for....Fritscher, as a key creator of
Drum mer maga zine, is godfather to the contem po rary South of
Market man...” —John F. Karr, Bay Area Reporter

“Jack Fritscher writes...wonderful books, full of careful writing
and a fine sense of words. Full of compas sion and hu mor...full
of hot horny fantasies that make good one-handed reading...his
writing surges with lyricism and insight....Fritscher creates his
text from images, memories, and fantasies...His writing becomes
a frieze, a fine carving, lovingly craft ed....He shows man as tester
and prover, as erotic dreamer, as self-lover, and as shaman crossing
old barriers and old prejudices...There is a world of insight packed
into his meta phors.” —Geoff Mains, author
of Urban Aboriginals, in The Advocate

“Jack Fritscher’s writing is a potent aphrodisiac. The reader will
pant for his own chance at manhandling (or being manhandled)
during a stimulating read....Fritscher knows the rhythms of writ-
ing fuckprose. Like Rechy, he joins words in powerful couplings...
remarkably hot sex scenes....Fritscher is a poet of porn [who
through fantasy will] chase away periods of safe-sex melancholy.”
