Some of the biggest names in GLBT literature held court at the 21st annual Lamba Literary Awards hosted by Scott Nevins on Thursday night. Their names may not be familiar but their literary impact cannot be underscored enough. Everyone from past Lammy winners like Lambda Board Chair Christopher Rice, to our current obsession Dennis Cooper, to Edmund White, to one of our favorites Andrew Holleran, to Felice Picano, to Scott Heim, to up-and-coming new voices like Shawn Ruff and my friend and NYTimes columnist Bob Morris. If you’ve never read any of the nominated books, I suggest you take a look at the winners list. You won’t be disappointed. Who says 20-somethings don’t read? We saw plenty of young faces. And pictures don’t lie. Photos by Homo-Neurotics SMHayhurst and Shutterbug.
