Recently I reviewed Wild Animals I Have Known, Kevin Bentley's collected and selected diaries. Just before he published his own diaries, Bentley edited After Words: Real Sex From Gay Men's Diaries.
When I first heard about After Words, I thought it was just going to be another excuse for a collection of one-hand fiction. I was pleasantly surprised to find instead a collection of well-written, interesting — and arousing! — diary entries by the likes of Clifford Chase, David Leddick, Felice Picano, Andrew Ramer and Bentley himself. In my review of Bentley's published diaries, I complained that gay literature tends to leave the sex out of homosexuality. After Words makes no such mistake. From one night stands to long-term relationships, breakup to makeup, hustlers and threesomes and S&M, this book has it all.
