Minor gay erotica set in Texas among hustlers and sex workers in the early 1980s. This was Lars Eighner's first book and it was basically a collection of writings that were published elsewhere. The narrative of a few of the stories was hard to follow. I liked "The Christmas Cowboy" the best. Eighner went on to publish "Travels With Lizzie" and invented the term dumpster diving.

I wrote this one, too.
This is the original edition, published by Gay Sunshine Press. It has a turquoise cover with an illustration of a young man wearing a dog collar. This was a trade paperback of (supposedly) 5k copies. There are ten bound in boards with my signature on slips bound in. All are rare now.
This book contains the Houston Streets stories which were mostly semi-autobiographical stories of my boyhood experiences. Writing from my own perspective I never thought and never intended these stories to encourage adults who might be sexually interested in minors, but because some people might read those stories that way, this book probably could not be published in its original form today.

I wrote this one too. This ISBN goes with the expurgated edition by BadBoy Books, a mass-market paperback with a model on the back of a motorcycle on the cover, issued 1993. This addition was presented me as a fait accompli by my representative and the publisher. It contains the Houston Streets stories which were in many places semi-autobiographical. Told from my viewpoint, it never occurred to me that they might be seen as encouraging to adults who were sexually interested in underage persons. I'm not sure I would have agreed with the revisions, designed to avoid saying explicitly how old my narrator (who was most me) was when various events occurred, but I think I could have done a more artful job of it.
