## Caption

The Leather Boys is a queer classic that you may have never heard of before -- originally published in 1961, it was a radical piece of work in a myriad of ways. Dealing with controversial topics, including homosexuality, crime and adultery, as well as being among the first novels to treat working class lives and relationships between men with real dignity and a level of nuance unheard of for pulp fiction.

The Leather Boys is back on our bookshelves with a brand new introduction from Kaye Mitchell on the 20th of November, so still time to get yours pre-ordered! Link in bio!
