New Serpent's Tail Classics edition of M. John Harrison's remarkable, slippery, head-turning 1992 novel The Course of the Heart, out in August. The Flamingo paperback at the top of this thread is almost impossible to get so this reissue is a Good Thing.
Cover art by Ryan Leig.

The other thing I want to say about White is that HE LIVED. Despite strokes, heart issues, and HIV. To 85! For a charter member of the first post-Stonewall group of gay writers, that is an astonishment. He lost his contemporaries--all of them. Is it any wonder his tone was so often elegiac? >
