There are countless works of interest to gay men in print right now--anthologies, novels, memoirs, and more. It is a reflection of progress that there is such an openly recognizable culture. Yet how to make sense of the choices offered? What do gay men need to read? What books have shaped the gay heart, mind, and soul?

The Gay Canon gives its readers answers to these questions. Not only does it list the one hundred great gay books that have influenced writers and continue to shape the gay imagination, it also provides a deeper, more comprehensive look at the twenty-six most seminal works, each of which is followed by a series of useful group discussion questions. Reaching all the way back to Gilgamesh and continuing through classics like Leaves of Grass, Confessions of a Mask, and The Wild Boys, as well as more recent books like Borrowed Time, The Gay Canon consistently avoids impenetrable academic literary criticism in favor of a more popular introduction for general readers and book groups.

The Gay Canon is a book to give to any young man just coming out, a book every gay reading group will want to rely on, and--most important--a book that will enrich and improve the gay story that continues to be written.

Love this tuxedo!
Love this tuxedo! I purchased this tuxedo in a size Small for my son to wear to a wedding. He is 5”10 and weighs 180 lbs. Everything fit well except the pants needed to be hemmed a bit. My son looked very handsome in this tux and received several compliments. Great buy!

Really slim - err on the side of caution even when using the size guide
Color: Deep Green, Size: Large
Men's Slim Fit 3-Piece Tuxedo Set, One Button Shawl Collar Jacket Vest Pants for Party, Business and Wedding When they say slim fit, they mean it. I’m normally a large. I used their size guide to make sure I chose the right size, and when it arrived, it definitely was too small in the shoulders and the stomach (ahem). That being said, my weight fluctuates a lot, so I’m sure I’ll be able to wear it sometime. The tuxedo itself is really nice and stylish. It looks good, and even though it’s synthetic, it feels pretty good too.

Appearance nice, fit is a little bulky on the jacket.
Color: Beige, Size: X-Small
It looks very nice. The pants fit very well for my 5' 8.5" son with long legs. The jacket was a little bulkier. We will try to tailor it a little.
