THE SINS OF THE CITIES OF THE PLAIN

"The Sins of the Cities of the Plain" is a supposed memoir of Jack Saul, first published in 1888 by a young rentboy named "Mary-Ann." In the book, Saul is picked up on the street by Mr. Chambon. After having dinner, Chambon invites Saul to recount his life story. While some consider it a genuine account, it is more likely to be an early form of the non-fiction novel.

Gay Liberation Front, Manifesto, 1971

(reprinted 2024)

Edition of 100

The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was founded by students Bob Mellors and Aubrey Walter. The first meeting took place on October 13, 1970, at the London School of Economics. Below, you can find the GLF Manifesto, published in 1971, which outlines the key demands and principles of the GLF. The manifesto urged gay individuals to come out and be visible while examining the ways in which they were oppressed by society. For the GLF, gay liberation was not merely about legal reform; it was about bringing about a revolutionary change in society. A revised edition from 1979 is also included below.

MOONSHADOW, T,A,O, Sept 1973

(Reprinted 2024)

Edition of 100

Moonshadow: The Voice of the Transexual Action Organization was produced by the transgender activist and rock musician Angela Lynn Douglas, who also produced the art journal Mirage. Moonshadow was emblematic of the radical and aggressive transgender activism that emerged in the late 1960s and 70s. While earlier publications, such as Virginia Prince’s magazineTransvestia, had provided forums for transgender people to discuss their shared experiences, Moonshadow had a countercultural aesthetic and humour. In addition to transgender politics, it covered a range of topics that included UFOs, alternative spirituality, and rock ’n ’roll.

PEONIES ARE IMPOSSIBLE

Peonies Are Impossible throbs with the vascular rhythms that flow irregularly between a damp and very English queerness and the traditions of its working-class avant-garde. Like some ecstatic kitchen sink melodrama, its lewd, lurching theatrics conjure ugly delicious pantomime magick in which characters dream themselves onto the page in real time. Look closely enough and you might even remember

it as the intricate shed-dwelling diorama about which you caught a short documentary on Channel Four in the early 1990s, a labour of desperate love shining from a small-town cul-de-sac, was lost in time.
