Before James Hansen was was writing his lucrative series of Dave Brandstetter mysteries he used the pseudonym James Colton. The cover tells us that a virile homosexual's (is there any other kind?) passion takes on “weird shapes” when he meets a lusty lady.

Strange Marriage by Joseph Hansen

Paperback Library offers a more entertaining cover. You can tell they are a desperate pair. I wouldn't say they are exzuding much virility but you suspect they may be weird. Maybe just uncomfortable.

Novel of gay marriage from the 60s

I don't know anything about Naked to the Night or Quatrefoil but there's no mention of a woman this time.

I've never read the novel but by all accounts it was a strange marriage indeed since one of the protagonists somehow achieves a successful marriage and his happy with his gay sexuality. Seems unlikely four decades later.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Strange Marriage. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
