Reviews

—Michael Bronski:

“A dizzying mix of low camp and high drama, A Scarlet Pansy is at once laugh-out-loud funny, startling, odd, and ultimately—through the lens of our queer world today—very moving. Robert J. Corber’s insightful and astute Introduction
places the novel in a clear historical context while continually highlighting the
emotional power and the camp glory of the novel and the erotic adventures of its
hero/heroine, Fay Etrange.”

—Nicholas de Villiers:
“A Scarlet Pansy makes an important queer intervention in the historical record of how to be gay. It is a great pleasure to be brought out into pre-Stonewall gay culture along with the protagonist, and to see this combination of camp and sex.”
