소설
A novel on the legality of love from the author of City of Night, “one of the few original American writers of the last century” (Gore Vidal, public intellectual and author of I Told You So).
A man confronts the twin nightmares of death and silent injustice in John Rechy’s third novel. While juggling the care of his ailing mother, a young law student stands trial in Los Angeles on a charge that exposes him to the depths and intricacies of society’s twisted conceptions of justice and privacy. In This Day’s Death, “[Rechy] deals with experience from the inside, and it’s possible he offers us more unevaluated and uncodified homosexual feeling than any writer in the United States today” (The New York Times).
Praise for John Rechy
“Rechy shows great comic and tragic talent. He is truly a gifted novelist. ” —Christopher Isherwood, author and playwright
“His tone rings absolutely true, is absolutely his own, and he has the kind of discipline which allows him a rare and beautiful recklessness. He 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 achievement. ” —James Baldwin, novelist, playwright, and activist
“His uncompromising honesty as a gay writer has provoked as much fear as admiration … John Rechy doesn’t fit into categories. He transcends them. His individual vision is unique, perfect, loving and strong. ” —Carolyn See, author of Dreaming: Hard Luck and Good Times in America
