This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDick and Reggie are ‘leather boys’, working-class London teens with an affinity for leather jackets and motorcycles who become friends through their involvement in a gang. For Dick, the money he gets from the gang’s thefts helps to support his ailing grandmother; for Reggie, membership in the gang provides relief from an unhappy home life and a loveless marriage. When Reggie decides to leave his unfaithful wife and move in with Dick, the two soon discover their feelings for each other are much stronger than mere friendship. As they make plans for their future together, will they find the happiness they seek, or is their love doomed to end in tragedy? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe first novel to offer an authentic portrayal of love between ordinary, working- class young men, Gillian Freeman’s The Leather Boys is a groundbreaking classic of gay fiction that remains moving and compelling today.
