Through the 1980s and 90s, gay porn cinemas were an integral facet of the Paris gay scene. They were places of erotic fantasy and sexual reality, of refuge and fulfilment.Le Far West epitomises all those lost saloons of desire: outposts, as in the far west itself, of lonesome cowboys and the shoot-outs of their desires.Published, for the first time, in this strictly limited edition, Le Far West, which was written by John Roman Baker as a testimony to what he experienced and saw while living in Paris in 1988, mixes fact and fiction to create a startling and vivid impression of the time.

Rich in period detail, cultural references, and with many passionate encounters, the Nick & Greg Books by John Roman Baker are unique in popular gay literature. The series follows the lives of two lovers Nick & Greg from their first teenage encounter in the 1950s through decades of social and sexual revolution. Love and Cowardice is the fifth book in the series. It's 1973, and although gay liberation is part of the texture of Nick's life, he cannot feel the same enthusiasm for it as nineteen-year-old Nathan. Meeting Nathan ends a dry season in Nick's life, and soon there is news of Karel and Bart and, most important to Nick, Greg. Nick enters this new dance of desire, and the roundabout turns, but in a decade of so many desires, will it spin out of control?
