‘The Lord Won’t Mind’: A Gay Classic, No Matter What Anyone Says

The November-December 2023 issue of Gay & Lesbian Review features an interesting essay by Andrew Holleran on Gordon Merrick, inspired by a 2022 nonfiction book by Joseph M. Ortiz, Gordon Merrick and The Great Gay American Novel, published by Lexington Books.


I’ve not yet read Ortiz’s book, which looks terrific, by the way.
