"Fascinating...fun to read and will be the standard text of the defining era of gay literati." - Philadelphia InquirerIn the years following World War II a group of gay writers established themselves as major cultural figures in American life. Truman Capote, the enfant terrible, whose finely wrought fiction and nonfiction captured the nation's imagination. Gore Vidal, the wry, withering chronicler of politics, sex, and history. Tennessee Williams, whose powerful plays rocketed him to the top of the American theater. James Baldwin, the harrowingly perceptive novelist and social critic. Christopher Isherwood, the English novelist who became a thoroughly American novelist. And the exuberant Allen Ginsberg, whose poetry defied censorship and exploded minds. Together, their writing introduced America to gay experience and sensibility, and changed our literary culture. But the change was only beginning. A new generation of gay writers followed, taking more risks and writing about their sexuality more openly. Edward Albee brought his prickly iconoclasm to the American theater. Edmund White laid bare his own life in stylized, autobiographical works. Armistead Maupin wove a rich tapestry of the counterculture, queer and straight. Mart Crowley brought gay men's lives out of the closet and onto the stage. And Tony Kushner took them beyond the stage, to the center of American ideas. With authority and humor, Christopher Bram weaves these men's ambitions, affairs, feuds, loves, and appetites into a single sweeping narrative. Chronicling over fifty years of momentous change-from civil rights to Stonewall to AIDS and beyond-EMINENT OUTLAWS is an inspiring, illuminating tale: one that reveals how the lives of these men are crucial to understanding the social and cultural history of the American twentieth century.

Standing on the banks of the Black River, Mansfield Plantation is a living testament to antebellum rice plantations. In 1718, it started as a five-hundred-acre land grant near the upstart village of Georgetown. The main house was built around 1800, and the plantation soon grew to nearly one thousand acres. John and Sallie Middleton Parker returned the property to the Man-Taylor-Lance-Parker family, a line of ownership dating back 150 years. Ongoing preservation projects ensure that future generations can explore and appreciate one of the most well-preserved rice plantations in America. Plantation historian Christopher C. Boyle captures the spirit of Mansfield Plantation and unravels the many mysteries of its past.

"To Fall From Bliss" is a thought-provoking journey about following your heart while trying to identify yourself from the other 7 Billion personalities on the planet! Here’s how it unravels:In the world of Oblivion there exists the town of Bliss, a place of peace and perfection. Life is in absolute balance and resources flow in abundance. But underneath the beauty of Bliss there is one rule: One must never question anything beyond the world of Oblivion—and to educate yourself is a sin! Insert: Bella, an inquisitive girl who breaks tradition by questioning the ways of the creatures who live on the Urantia (Planet Earth). Bella is so captivated by the mystery of the “blue marble” in the sky, that she secretly begins to study and educate herself about the fascinating creatures known only as “Humans”. But this breach of edict is a serious offense in Bliss. Bella is scolded by her twin sister (Isabella), then instructed to silence her queries and quit her quest. And then it happens: Bella and her companion (Bill) abandon Bliss and “Fall” to the lower world of Urantia, where they are approached by a mysterious man (Nazar) who will be their guide, leading them on a quest called the “Phases of the Sages”, where they must visit “Five Wise Men” and answer questions pertaining to the “Laws of Life” and other Elements of Existence. But things take terrible turn when an evil villain ( Darcuum) kidnaps one of the Sages (Mr. Edison) and steals “The Light” from the world of Urantia. Now, in order to defeat Darcuum and liberate “The Light” from the clutches of darkness, Bella and Bill must complete each phase to be awarded the “Accolades” needed to rescue Mr. Edison who is being held in the underworld of Amentia, where they must travel to kick Darcuum's butt, and save Humanity from eternal darkness!
