Non-Fiction Books by Jack Fritscher

Jack Fritscher’s non-fiction books document the history, art, and popular culture of gay America with the authority of a firsthand witness and the rigor of a PhD scholar. From his landmark memoir Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera to the multi-volume Profiles in Gay Courage series, his non-fiction work preserves stories that might otherwise be lost — covering Drummer Magazine, gay San Francisco, leather culture, and iconic figures including Robert Mapplethorpe, Larry Townsend, and Anton LaVey.
