A bookstore for Boston

by Dwight Cathcart | May 8, 2017 | books, Bookstores, bookstores, eBooks, Gay literature, print on demand, Publishing

Some of us have been thinking about an LGBTQ bookstore for Boston, along the lines of what I have described in “The death of our bookstore (3).” See here and here and here. If you are interested in a non-profit LGBTQ bookstore for Boston which would sell new and used...

The death of our bookstore (3)

by Dwight Cathcart | May 3, 2017 | books, Bookstores, bookstores, eBooks

The current crisis around LGBTQ bookstores is not a conflict between print books and digital books. Digital books are here to stay and are going to learn to coexist with print books. Consequently, a bookstore will offer a maximum number of titles of books of interest...

The death of our bookstore

by Dwight Cathcart | Apr 22, 2017 | books, bookstores, Bookstores, Daniel D'Addario, eBooks, Gay literature

I used to say that there were three places in Boston which were at the center of gay life for me. There was, obviously, the Ramrod, the gay leather bar on outer Boylston, where numerous overlapping communities met to socialize, perhaps meet for sex, and to feel gay....

Digital progress: print on demand

by Dwight Cathcart | Mar 9, 2017 | books, bookstores, Daniel D'Addario, eBooks, Freedom, Gay literature, print on demand, Publishing, Writing

Well, today is a new day, and I am here to tell you about a discovery that is going to make a difference to gay people. I was looking for a book (Henry James, Art of the Novel). I went back to Barnes & Noble and found a print-on-demand version of the book I...

In the matter of Thomas Barrows

by Dwight Cathcart | Mar 11, 2016 | APA, books, Coming to terms with the past, Gay literature, Movies, Reviews, Walking wounded

In the flurry of marriages and commitments at the end of Downton Abbey—Edith to her Marquess, Mary to her racing car driver (the week before), Daisy to Andy (prospective), Mrs. Crawley to Lord Merton (promised), and perhaps Mrs. Patmore to Mr. Mason—amid all the...

Living in interesting times

by Dwight Cathcart | Jun 1, 2015 | Books, books, Bookstores, Daniel D'Addario, eBooks, Freedom, Publishing, Writing

The issues introduced by the digital revolution are not going away. We were having brunch when one of the men at the table—I forget what led up to this—said that he didn’t read ebooks because he didn’t enjoy the experience of holding the tablet computer in his hands....

I think what they said was, “Power to the People!”

by Dwight Cathcart | Mar 5, 2011 | books

There are two great areas that are subject to the changes brought by the ebook. First, we now have the ability to publish books without moveable type and without paper, which means we don’t need the elaborate methods of shipping and storage that paper books need. We...

Christopher Isherwood, George Falconer, the book and the movie, 1962

by Dwight Cathcart | Jan 25, 2011 | books

People in chat rooms say the movie of A Single Man, starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, is “completely different” from the book. The small group of lines from page 28 in the book—where George is thinking of what the neighbors must be thinking about him and...
