Reviews
Only a major biography could unravel the myth and the reality of Gordon Merrick, actor, journalist, WW II spy, novelist, and finally bestselling gay author living on an exotic island. Joseph Ortiz reveals the man and the talent that captivated loyal readers for decades., Joseph Ortiz's book about Gordon Merrick is a meticulously researched and beautifully written biography. Merrick was a Broadway actor who spent time in OSS during World War II before becoming one of America's earliest and most successful gay novelists. This is not only a rich portrait of an important and previously neglected cultural figure: it is also a terrific social history spanning fifty years of the 20th Century. Anyone curious about the gay culture that flourished in the decades before Stonewall will have a wonderful time reading this book.
