Set primarily in London during the Blitz with lots of bombs bursting in air--conveniently killing off characters right and left, Sickness is the story of the extremely handsome young boy Dave and his wayward attempts to find love with all the wrong women. After many disastrous short marriages and affairs, Dave comes to realize that all the women he has loved (and beat up in the process) resemble, in some way or another, his mother. Repulsed by this sudden dawning of post Oedipal ennui, he becomes a penniless artist and full time male homosexual hustler. $275

Les Amities Particulieres. The touching story of two French school boys and their delightful amoral amorous affairs, including, among others, one with a (gasp) homosexual Jesuit. An extremely popular book, (playing to anti-Roman sediments with its premise that underneath most cassocks lurk hearts of vile desire and rigid cocks dripping with precum at the thoughts of vespers, candle wax, and choir/altar boys), many critics view Les Amities Particulieres as Peyrefitte's best work and a milestone of Twentieth Century French homosexual literature.

Peyrefritte, Roger. Les Amities Particulieres. Marseille, Jean Vigneau, 1943. First French edition. One of 200 edition Johannot copies, number 97, fine in fine paper wraps with glassine wraps in a chemise and slip case with leather title patches, slip case slightly soiled. This copy also contains a laid in honorific and extremely fulsome ode to Andre Gide (hand written and signed by Peyrefitte) which extolls Gide as a writer and a homosexual. This may have been a presentation copy given to Gide by Peyrefitte, especially since this was Peyrefitte's first novel and the note certainly reeks of overweaning sycophancy. If this was the case, it failed miserably, since most of the pages are uncut. The other interesting thing about this Vichy edition is that it seems to be much scarcer in America than the 1945 Paris edition. There are, for example, only two OCLC holdings of this edition, University of Georgia and the University of Kansas--although many universities hold the 1945 Paris edition. [sold]

Although little appreciated in America, Virgilio Pinera was perhaps the greatest 20th century Cuban writer and playwright. His writings, even in translation, convey a sense of mystery, beauty, and irony that are totally unique, bordering on the magically, frequently touching the sublime. When Che Guevara saw a copy of Pinera's plays in the Cuban embassy in Madrid, he hurled the book across the room-shouting at the top of his lungs, "How dare you have in our embassy a book by this foul faggot." What better literary accolades can one ask for?
