(I'm posting this item on behalf of our colleague Philip Clark.)
If anyone would like to find out more about Alfred Chester, the gay author of The Exquisite Corpse whom I mentioned when someone referenced his nasty review of John Rechy's City of Night during last week's discussion of that novel, I highly recommend Edward Field's recent collection, Voyage to Destruction: The Moroccan Letters of Alfred Chester. There's a lengthy, detailed discussion of Chester (which doubles as a review of the book) on the Grand website that serves as a fantastic primer on who he was. That should give you an idea of whether you'd like to read the collection.
