Książka „City of night” amerykańskiego pisarza Johna Rechy’ego w angielskim oryginale.
Nota wydawnicza:
When John Rechy’s explosive first novel—now a classic—appeared in 1963, it became a national best-seller and ushered in a new era of gay fiction. Bold and inventive in his account of the urban underworld of male prostitution, Rechy is equally unflinching in his portrayal of one hustling „youngman” and his search for self-knowledge within the neon-lit world of hustlers, drag queens, and men on every kind of make. As the narrator moves from El Paso to Times Square, from Pershing Square to the French Quarter, we get an unforgettable look at life on the edge.
„City of Night is a remarkable book…. Mr. Rechy writes in an authentic jive-like slang: the nightmare existence is explored with a clarity not often clouded by sentimentality and self-pity. The book therefore has the unmistak-able ring of candor and truth.”— The New York Times Book Review
„Rechy tells the truth, and tells it with such passion that we are forced to share in the life he conveys. This is a most humbling and liberating achieve-ment.” — James Baldwin
„Probably no first novel is so complete, so well held together, and so important as City of Night.” — The Houston Post
„City of Night is one of the most remarkable novels to appear in years.” — Herbert Gold
