Duque es la primera novela peruana con temática gay. Escrita en 1920, retrata la vida y costumbres de la clase alta limeña, llena de lujos, clubes, sirvientes, fiestas, alcohol, drogas, prostitución y más. El protagonista es Teddy Cronwnchield, un joven alto, delgado, de veinticinco años y heredero de una gran fortuna. Digno representante de la burguesía limeña, Teddy es un dandy, amante de la moda y del buen gusto, es hedonista y de una exuberante delicadeza. Su mayor preocupación era escoger la corbata adecuada entre las ciento catorce que tenía en el closet. Vuelve a Lima con su madre después de haber vivido por más de diez años en Europa, en donde practicó la sodomía, consumió cocaína y era asiduo visitante de los burdeles. Teddy buscaba encajar en esta Lima a la que ya no reconocía. Frecuentaba un círculo de amigos y amigas con quienes iba a los clubes, jugaba tenis y asistía a los almuerzos, cenas y fiestas del momento que se retrataban en las páginas sociales de los diarios y revistas. Todo parecía marchar bien hasta que se convierte en el amante de un hombre mayor mientras estaba en una relación con Bati. Teddy es, en suma, el símbolo de la doble vida del limeño homosexual de clase alta, en donde se perdona el pecado, pero no el escándalo.

José Diez-Canseco (1904-1949) es uno de los narradores peruanos más importantes de su generación. Escribió cuentos, relatos y novelas. Sus textos fueron publicados en prestigiosas revistas de la época como Variedades, Amauta y el Mercurio Peruano. Trabajó como periodista y estudió leyes en la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. En la década de los años treinta viajó a Europa y, durante su estadía en ese conteniente, Luis Alberto Sánchez publicó la primera edición de Duque sin su consentimiento. Esta novela causó una gran polémica por su temática y porque estaba inspirada en personajes reales. Murió repentinamente en 1949.
