Hey, folks, how about a little love for Fadeout? I know those of us in the MobileRead Book Club just read a mystery, but really, there's NO comparison. This isn't the story of an upper-class, British twit with too much time on his hands and a title; it's the story of a working-class, California, insurance investigator in the midst of recovering from the loss of his long time partner. And it's not set in the 20's, but in the 70's, a time at least some of us actually remember.
This is classic work of gay fiction, arguably the first major cross-over work of the modern era. Oh, and it was a success because it was a good, well-written, mystery. A worthy start to our New Leaf Book Club.
