The Palace of Varieties
"James Lear's novels have dominated gay erotic fiction charts since publication...Just a few pages in, the secret of Lear's success becomes blindingly apparent. Practically every page is graced with an abundance, a pornucopia if you will, of graphic bonking...but it's not just the sex that keeps you reading. Lear's prose is vibrant and colourful...This isn't porn accompanied by a wah-wah guitar, this is porn to the strains of Beethoven's 'Ode To Joy', each vividly realised ejaculation accompanied by a fanfare and the crashing of cymbals." --Time Out London--June 2008
