Marcus and Me: by Jay Edson, softcover, 108 pages, $14.95

When Franklin Hubbard runs away from the Lutheran boys home where he has lived for most of his eleven years, he hitches a ride from Marcus, a middle-aged man he quickly decides is both a loony and a criminal. But Franklin's definitions come from his influences the state, the church, and the popular news media that have formed his comic book good-and-evil world view. What follows in that hippie heyday summer of 1967 is more than just a journey from coast to coast across America. For young Franklin it is a journey from an America he knows to one he has never imagined. Marcus and Me speaks with the blunt honesty of Franklin's own voice as he struggles to understand two opposing ways to live ... one based on the solid but simplistic values that have dominated his short life, the other offering him an exhilarating freedom that questions everything he has grown to believe. It s the summer of '67, yet every breath of Franklin's story has clear resonance with the America of today. It is about freedom and personal responsibility versus control and unthinking acceptance.

Beyond Hysteria: edited by David L. Riegel, paperback, 94 pages, $11.95

Beyond Hysteria uses two Internet-based surveys to demonstrate that neither of two common misconceptions are supported by the facts. The first, of 321 self-described "boylovers," shows that the viewing of boy erotica actually diminishes their desire for sexual contacts with boys. The second sample is of 29 men who as boys were photographed nude and/or engaged in sexual activities. All of these men report that they participated willingly, and the great majority perceived their experiences as neutral to positive, with negative reactions almost nonexistent.

We Were Not Abused: by David L. Riegel, paperback, 91 pages, $11.95

Inquisitive and explorative boys have been portrayed as being universally harmed by any sexual contacts with older males, but the truth has been known and documented for decades that the real harm to these boys comes not from their willing sexual experimentations, but from society's "taboos" and inappropriate overreactions of parents, teachers, police, and judges.

Could They All Have Been Wrong?: edited by David L. Riegel, paperback, 112 pages, $12.95

Thoughts by physicians, philosophers, psychologists, professors, a judge, an attorney, and a hacker about sexually expressed relationships between boys and older males.

This too is Love: by J.H., softcover, 265 pages, $14.95

Each of the twelve stories that make up this work is complete in itself. Yet together they compose a small photo album of one man’s struggle to come to terms with his inclinations toward a forbidden love. In the first story the protagonist is a boy himself, and gains the attention of the man who is his swimming instructor. In the succeeding stories this boy has become a man, and we see him as a counselor at an institution for juvenile delinquents, and then as a social worker.

These Were My Realities: by J.H., softcover, 322 pages, $19.95

This book is factual account of the experiences and observations of the author while he was incarcerated in a prison in the United States for having been found guilty of sexual abuse. While the author strongly discourages other people from allowing themselves the engage in illegal sexual activities, he also raises fundamental questions about how the issue of intergenerational love is understood and dealt with in our society. He also raises questions about the wisdom of creating the huge and inhuman warehouses for people we call "correctional facilities" or prisons. In an effort to make the experience as productive as possible the author resolved to treat his stay in prison as a "participant observer" study. The book contains a number of sociological and psychological observations that might be of interest to professions in the human sciences as well as to lay people.
