Happy publication day to Gillian Freeman's groundbreaking novel THE LEATHER BOYS! The Leather Boys was a novel leagues ahead of its time: remarkable in a number of ways, being a piece of pulp fiction that neither sensationalised nor sentimentalised its subject matter, instead, treating the intimate relationship between Dick and Reggie, both working class young men in 1960s South London, with dignity and sincerity. The Outsider Classics edition features a brand new introduction by Kaye Mitchell that'll fully contextualise the importance of The Leather Boys as a queer classic for you - and the radical act that Gillian Freeman committed by writing it a full five years before homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK.
