Hot off the Presses: A Novel"This is the way gay novels used to be written: big, smart, sexy, funny—with important themes, great characters, and the tainted heart of a big city at its core."
—Felice Picano “Homophobia in both the black and the jock communities is addressed; so too is the sometimes vexing question of how the queer press ought to cover the queer community's own foibles and failings. Mackle tackles these topics with a delicious mix of wisdom and wit—and with titillating dashes of sex and romance.” —Richard Labonte, Book Marks “Once again Lethe Press brings us a good book–I mean a wonderful book. I have never read Elliott Mackle before but I hope to be reading him for a very long time. ‘Hot Off the Presses’ is a great read. It has everything—a good plot, humor, characters that are wonderfully drawn and a great look at gay life. . . . Here is the story of one man who not only finds love but himself as well, and the tale is masterfully told by Mackle. This is the ideal book. Everything about it is first rate and this is one book that you do not want to miss.” —Amos Lassen, Literary Pride “Mackle, a career journalist who actually covered the 1996 Olympics for an Atlanta newspaper, constructs an engaging, well-written story which shows the very real conflicts that can exist in what others would likely consider a ‘fun’ job. Significant erotic content, but it doesn't detract from the compelling story being told. I give this a full five stars out of five.” —Bob Lind, Echo Magazine |
