“Stand by Your Man is a classic. I’ve expressed my admiration for Fritscher’s heat before…I’ll stand by what I said: Jack Fritscher has roamed the furthest corners of sexuality, and can lead you on head trips unequaled by any other gay writer I know. You may resist, as I did, some of the aggression, machismo, and sexual practices only to be won over by Fritscher’s prose…He writes with sweat and wit, dirt and desire. Fritscher is a knee to the groin.
…When Fritscher is churning it out, he can also churn us up. So I’ll only name a few of the highlights….There’s ‘Goatboy,’ a J/O story about teencock in an absolute frenzy, and ‘Daddy’s Big Shave,’ a father/son story about a man who helps his son grow up…
It’s been bandied about that Fritscher is a two-fisted writer…the words read that way. Try…‘In Praise of Fuckabilly Butt,’ a rush of words so horny your head will whirl and your heart will pound. And finally…there’s ‘How Buddy Left Me,’ which adds to the author’s knee to the groin a pungent jolt to the heart. The story includes not only the expected arousal stuff, but an emotional left chop that leaves you feeling bittersweet and slightly forlorn long after your hardon has gone down. What an unusual, and, yes, stunning story. That Fritscher. What a fucker!”
—John F. Karr, Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco
