DIRK VANDEN: "Pioneer of Gay Literature"

There are probably very few Gay men, or women, now living, who know my pseudonym, Dirk Vanden, or my books, from anything besides reference works -- such as THE GAY & LESBIAN LITERARY HERITAGE, 1995, from Henry Holt, edited by Claude J. Summers, which mentions me twice: first by Edmund Miller, in Erotica and Pornography & then in Robert Nashak's Sadomasochistic Literature. My books are still on the market - after 42 years. But long ago, we were still “criminals!” Remember? This year, 2011, my work is being re-released with brand-new edits and new covers, so please check out the books below, and explore the links at the top of this page.

Review of All Is Well

'It seems to me that ALL IS WELL...is a paean to a way of life that is counter-culture all the way...with some astoundingly erotic scenes that are as profound a manifesto of the right to discover and be one's total self as any non-fiction rhetoric on the subject that I've heard of or read...I recommend it wholeheartedly as a must to today's - or tomorrow's - American male homosexuals.' - John Francis Hunter
