Review:
In 25 candid discussions, Bears on
Bears brings together 57
contributors from around the world,
from a rich variety of perspectives
and backgrounds. With lighthearted
playfulness as well as serious
analysis, these Bears (as well as
some nonbearish Bear-lovers)
describe themselves, their lives and
loves, their sense of masculinity, and
their flourishing
community-cum-culture. Widely
excerpted in the gay media, Bears on
Bears is the first interview book ever
(gay-themed or otherwise) compiled
primarily from online interactions.
This groundbreaking collection of
voices gathered from in and around
the edge of this unique culture is
both entertaining and enlightening.
Several of the interviews
were serialized on Resources for
Bears and some are still available in
the archives
A> (look for articles written by Ron
Suresha). More info available at bearsonbears.com.

Review:
This book chronicles gay life in the first half of the 20th century
(as the title implies) and shows the changes in how gay men
were perceived (and perceived themselves) within New York.
The book is well-written, and well-documented, not relying on
heresay or biases of how things ``might'' have been.
