Not a happy ending, but a good one
Nobody likes to see the last book in a series of books as great a Hansen's "Brandstetter"-series. It's sad. Especially because of the fact that Dave really is a well constructed character that one grows to like over the years. But everything has to end someday and I think Hansen did a pretty good job. It's not the ending one would suspect. It's logical and convincing. And it's part of a very ...

Berlin Between the Wars--More than just "Cabaret"
This is quite an informative as well as beautifully-produced book (by Abrams; printed in the Czech Republic) primarily of photographs but with a very pereceptive textual analysis as well by Rainer Metzger. Among other things, the book contains an abundant selection (often in color) of the Expressionist artists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, George Grosz, Otto Dix and Max Pechstein. These practitioners ...

Hard Boiled Gay Detective from 1973
Sub-Title: A Dave Brandstetter Mystery This is the second of the Dave Brandstetter novels to be reprinted. Dave was the "first and most venerable gay detective" a real shocker thirty years ago. Dave also didn't fit the image if a gay man. He was good sized and a hard boiled detective, just like the other heros of the day. All in all there were twelve Dave brandstetter mysteries.

More than just a Gay Detective Novel, A Good Novel
Can you imagine the impact of a gay tough guy detective in 1972, that was thirteen years before Rock Hudson. Indeed, can you imagine a gay tough guy detective even today with all the attacks on Sponge Bob and and other stupidities. But it's true. In 1972 Joseph Hansen published the first of what would grow to twenty five novels, twelve of which featured Dave Brandstetter the openly, ...

He comes to believe Oats was murdered for his considerable policy and sets out to find the culprit. Whodunit? Oats's elusive son? The closeted, all-American TV star? A washed up ...
