Gay Letters From Millicent To Maude (Paperback)

It is a treasure of letters written from one gay man to another gay man nearly 60 years ago. "Gay Letters From Millicent to Maude" is a restoration and an organized read; and although literature exists on gay history none have been written from a 1950's historical perspective of actual writings of two gay men which provides a surprisingly original concept for readers. The humor and sophistication of these letters is only rivaled by Millicent's and Maude's preoccupation with Hollywood, theatre, gay culture and fashion of the 1950's. Humorous and fast moving, this book is born out of a desire to give all of us a better understanding of these two high-spirited gay male debutantes who lived no matter what happened at a time when gays were mistreated and sexual minorities were second-class to the 1950's idealistic standards. Published under the pseudonyms James Considere and Bill Edwards, the authors reside in Palm Springs, southern California.
