 Bohemian Days in San Francisco by Bret Harte:
The impressions I propose to give of certain scenes and incidents of my early experience must, therefore, be taken as purely personal and Bohemian, and their selection as equally individual and vagrant.
My Bohemian wanderings were confined to the limits of the city, for the very good reason that there was little elsewhere to go.
San Francisco was then bounded on one side by the monotonously restless waters of the bay, and on the other by a stretch of equally restless and monotonously shifting sand dunes as far as the Pacific shore.

But a small community of bohemian writers and thinkers known as the Beats began to emerge at the threshold of the ’50s, bringing with them blatant sexuality, fluid sexual orientation and unconventional attitudes based on the concept of free will.
They created some of the most enduring and erotically charged literature of the 20th century, often under the rebellious influence of drugs and alcohol.
Other than a few inclusions that don’t offer much revelation, “Queer Beats” proves to be a worthy addition to the library of any gay bohemian literature buff with a romantic fascination for a time when gay love really didn’t dare speak its name.
