Product Description
The Bear Book: Readings in the History and Evolution of a Gay Male Subculture
Les K. Wright, editor
The ground-breaking, highly readable, first accounts of bear history in the making compiled by Les Wright include voices from many, far-flung corners of the bear community as it was first coming into being during the 1980s and early 1990s. Contains the original Bear Codes, reports from the Lone Star Saloon, personal accounts and thoughtful analyses, an album of snapshots taken in a time not so long ago, yet already a world apart. The Bear Book remains instructive and indispensable, a seminal and still influential study, appeals to the casual reader and critical thinker alike. If you have only one bear book on your self, this is the one.
Bear Book I & II were conceived as a case study of a gay community in its historical formation. As a set, they represent a unique and extensive, though by no means exhaustive, study, an album of verbal "snapshots in time" from a history in the making. Still the only books published on bear history to date.
