Billy Lee Brammer (Author),
Don Graham (Introduction by)
Set in Texas, The Gay Place consists of three interlocking novels, each with a different protagonist–a member of the state legislature, the state’s junior senator, and the governor’s press secretary. The governor himself, Arthur Fenstemaker, a master politician, infinitely canny and seductive, remains the dominant figure throughout.
Billy Lee Brammer–who served on Lyndon Johnson’s staff–gives us here “the excitement of a political carnival: the sideshows, the freaks, and the ghoulish comedy atmosphere” (Saturday Review).
Originally published in 1961, The Gay Place is at once a cult classic and a major American novel.
