The Book of Sodom

Reviews / Votes

[A] delight from start to finish ... Paul Hallam's enthusiasm for buggery is infectious. * Rouge * A clever selection and a playful one ... Hallam delivers a surprising line-up of luscious lovelies ... a serious and a sad book. Let it be a seductive one too. * Weekend Telegraph * A masterwork. -- Hilton Als A stunning guided tour through the real and imaginary landscapes of Sodom. -- Jenny Diski An inspired, thought-provoking collection of barbaric eroticism. * Library Journal * Fact and fantasy merge in this innovative and abstract expression of homosexuality in the guise of Sodom ... inventive, exciting and recommended. * Pink Paper * Hallam's superb introductory essay details his search for Sodom in literature and in his own life, ... has all the buzz of the most ardent erotic quest. * Modern Review * Not only a fascinating account of how one incident in scripture came to be eccessively used and abused, but also a moving memoir with a sharp political edge. * Times Literary Supplement *
