...New Book from Pan-Graphic

HARRY'S FARE & OTHER STORIES, 92 p. (approx); 51⁄21⁄21⁄2x81⁄21⁄2; heavy paper cover; three-color dust jacket, $2.00

"Harry's Fare and other stories," a new book of eight gay short stories and personality sketches will be issued on May 15, 1960 by Pan-Graphic Press, San Francisco, as the first number of the new "Dorian Vignettes" series. Each story is by a different author, and each introduces one or more "characters," some good and some bad, but spread throughout all levels of society. Harry, the cab driver who looks longingly at the nude physique of his own son, tells his wife of a strange customer he met the night before: A young man who befriended an older person found injured and rolled, and who, after delivering the victim to a hospital, asked the cabbie where he could find a male prostitute-Harry is the title figure in the opening story by W. Daniel. Suffering with him are his nodding and nagging wife, Grace, and Peter, the grown son who wishes his dad wouldn't look at him so longingly........ "The Flowering Tree" by Arnell Larsen, "On the Record" by Barbara Hoffman, "Not Consistent" by G. H. Foland, and "That's One Thing I'll Never Do," by C. V. Howard, and

"The Steep Path" comprise the lengthy stories included in the volume. Howard's is a piercing portrayal of a hustler who is at once likeable for his charming dishonesty, and his success at being a complete phony.

Two powerful sketches complete the volume. They are "Delusion" by Heather, the soliloquy of a young girl yearning for a handsome homosexual youth who lives in the apartment above her, and "Reflections," by J. Howard Simpson, the story of Effie, who likes a certain young man because of his interest in art objects (which she shares), and in helping countless younger men whom he picks up off Times Square and other haunts in the Big City....

As in Pan-Graphic's previous collection, "Four from the Circle," these short stories will be sparked with six outstanding male fiqure drawings and photographs.
