About the Author

About the Author

Drewey Wayne Gunn is professor emeritus of English at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. He is the author or editor of eleven books, including Tennessee Williams, 2nd Edition (Scarecrow, 1991) and The Golden Age of Gay Fiction (2009).

Reviews

This updated edition of Gunn's original volume provides all new gay male sleuth detectives stories in print and on film that have been published since 2005, as well as includes any titles that were overlooked in the original edition. With a discussion of more than 800 works of literature and 100 films and nearly 20 television or video series, The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film is the definitive reference work on this topic, and it belongs in any library whose patrons might be researching this subgenre. This outstanding book is divided into three highly readable and well-organized sections....Along with a superb index, this highly recommended work concludes with two very useful appendixes, the first on critical and bibliographic resources and the second on the Lambda Literary Awards for Best Gay Men’s Mystery (1988-2011).
