If Horatio Alger had written a gay hustler novel, this would be it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Originally published in 1964, and updated for this 1986 edition, this novel is a seamy, formulaic novel about Rick, the small town boy who migrates to New York and becomes an in-demand hustler based on his good looks and size of his talent. Seamy and formulaic are used as adjectives here in a non-judgmental way: "Naked to the Night" is entertaining and a lot of fun. In the tradition of the paperback pulp novels, this book is an important link in the evolution of gay literature, even though the characterizations are thin and stereotypically constructed.
