Horatio Alger, Jr. wurde berühmt für seine Romane, die die Abenteuer von Kindern aus armen Verhältnissen schilderten, wie sie zu einem angesehenen Leben aufstiegen. Seine Werke veranschaulichen den amerikanischen Traum, in dem Jungen durch harte Arbeit, Mut und Freundlichkeit Erfolg und Reichtum erlangen. Die Charaktere finden oft Anleitung bei älteren Mentoren, die ihnen helfen, Widrigkeiten zu überwinden. Alger wird als bedeutende Figur in der Geschichte amerikanischer kultureller und sozialer Ideale anerkannt.

Originally published in 1996, French Quarter Nights & Other Stories collected erotic fiction from that era's hottest gay stroke magazines. Periodicals like Blueboy and Mandate were not only stuffed with sexy photos of naked men, but were dripping with steamy tales, the best of which contained strong doses of gritty nightlife and nearly forgotten gay culture. "Kerouac at the Everard" and "Fire Island Threesome" deliver the goods while capturing the palpable energy of places vital to gay history. The titillating title story puts the reader front and center cruising the Big Easy, a region not often depicted in the coast-focused fiction of the time. We are extremely fortunate to have JR's take on magazine publishing in this heady period as an afterword, an enjoyable romp into the office life of pornography. Introducing the book is Matthew Rettenmund's (Encyclopedia Madonnica, Boy Culture) overview of such publications. While the internet may have extinguished this carnal epoch, The Library of Homosexual Congress is proud to revive this sensual compendium of literary sleaze at its finest.
