Review:
Fired from his job at the slick gay lifestyle magazine, Phag, Peter Mallory has to find a way to make a living. When his best friend suggests writing a book about the bear community, Peter is skeptical. But as soon as he realizes that with a new “bear” look he can go undercover at his old job and get his revenge, Peter is letting his body hair grow out and practicing the fine art of flannel couture. But of course, things are about to get hairy. When Peter’s sabotage campaign works almost too well, he starts to run the risk of discovery. And when an intriguing bear steals his heart, Peter realizes that his double life could end very badly. Where else could the story conclude but at the annual global bear meeting in San Francisco? With an envious fellow bear set to unmask Peter as a fraud, and his old magazine about to announce new plans for market domination, what can Peter do? If you answered “strap on a leather jockstrap, participate in a bear beauty pageant, and almost die in an elevator crash,” you’re getting close. Peter Mallory is in for the ride of his life!

Review:
Delany's best-selling novel is huge, baffling, beautiful, and probably not to everyone's taste. Generally described as SF, it's almost reminiscent of Harry Mathews' novels such as Tlooth. However, it does have some passages of special interest to Bears. For many Bears, the picture of the author alone may be worth the price.

Review:
"Washes and razors for foofoos... for me, freckles and a bristling beard." - Walt Whitman Although it's fitting that Whitman happened to be a furry gay man, it's the poems that make this book worth owning. They are recognized worldwide as classics, and they gave Whitman his fame as one of the most gifted American poets. Shorter editions also available at Amazon.com or from your local bookseller.

Review:
As soon as I started Jaffe's "The Limits of Pleasure" I couldn't stop reading. It's about this sexually compulsive hairy guy who has sex all the time. But the sex isn't just for itself. He uses sex to deal with his psychological issues. The novel's extremely funny and serious at the same time. It really made me think about how sometimes we have sex for fun, but sometimes we have it for other reasons we might not even understand right away. A great read. SBH
