Résumé
Before Stonewall, there was Sam: a revealing, unapologetic glimpse into the lives, loves, and ambitions of gay men in 1950s New YorkLonnie Coleman broke numerous taboos by exploring queer life in his novel Sam, originally published in 1959. Defying the era's typical tragic tropes, Coleman delivers a complex and nuanced presentation of gay male life in New York in accessible prose. The novel centers on Sam Kendrick, a respected publisher who happens to be a gay man.
During a time of rampant homophobia, Kendrick is secure in his sexuality, and living with an ambitious younger stage actor, Walter, who eventually leaves him to chase a career break. Sam's best friend Adeline is pregnant, and married to an abusive and homophobic man, and Sam's life revolves around a vivid cast of characters from New York's literary and theatre scene, as well as men who move through the city's hidden queer subcultures.
Fueled by dry martinis, chain-smoking, and late-night house parties, Coleman's narrative brings the fragmented world of 1950s gay men into sharp, intimate focus. From glamorous restaurants to the shadows of the city's bathhouses, the setting underscores the intense duality of pre-Stonewall queer life. Driven by themes of passing, infidelity, and opportunism, the shared journey of Sam and his cadre provides a poignant, revelatory peephole into early metropolitan queer history.
