In the last dynasty of China, graceful young men, known as hsiang-k'ung, enacted the parts of women on the stage. Hsiang-k'ung were also trained in literature, intellectual games and the sensual arts. Off stage, they served the personal needs of noblemen, who vied fir their affections..... Pei Yu is a novel based on the life of such a young man who rose to fame as a singer and actor-actress, as noblemen risked honor and position to seek his favor. The story is told by George Soulié de Morant, a French novelist of the turn-of-the-century, who lived in China during the final years before the Republic. Fluent in the language and culture, he reveals the color and texture of the country while leading us through adventures, intrigues, values, tastes and passions of classes of people long forgotten by contemporary China.

History

In World War II, members of the Special Service companies were combat soldiers by day and in the evenings presented stage shows and movies to entertain and build the morale of the troops. Eddie Fuller and Tyler Carpenter were successful Broadway actors drafted to serve their country. Their theatre productions were among the best received in the service.... Eddie and Ty were like thousands of other patriotic, dedicated GIs in war-torn Europe, except when they came across the English Channel, they also came across with two sailors in the stern of the ship.... The horrors of war, the rigors of military life, the strains and romps of being gay soldiers, the show biz highlife and GI lowlife make this an historic account you will never forget.

<p>"We had many saints, many heroes, both female and male, but I want to speak here of the saints and heroes of the gay tribes. For this is a period of human history that has been lost through time, whose return is vitally needed. For you know the heroes of the other tribes. But of this small, sacred tribe, whose history has been obscured, you remember nothing." So tells acclaimed author Andrew Ramer in Two Flutes Playing. Within these pages can be found insight and wisdom. Ramer serves as a mythologist for gay men, providing evidence to the harmony of gender, love and sex. A new introduction by the author reveals why this book's timeless message has once more returned to print as the inaugural title in the White Crane Spirituality Series.</p>
