Entrance of the Fish Frogs (1919) by Fritz Schwimbeck. Via<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 “This bold chunk of fiction comes garlanded with the promise that it is written in Polari, the historical cant of British gay male society. This turns out to be not quite true\u2014Polari was only ever a vocabulary, rather than a full language\u2014but it certainly indicates where we\u2019re heading; back to the late 1960s, when Polari had its heyday, and far out into the choppy waters of linguistic transgression. The largest part of the book is taken up with what purports to be a typescript of the ‘anarcho-surrealist’ memoirs of one Raymond Novak. The tersest summary of Novak\u2019s literary stylings might be to say that Julian and Sandy, those Polari-dishing stars of Round the Horne<\/em>, meet Bataille and Breton\u2014and lose.” Neil Bartlett<\/a> reviewing Man-Eating Typewriter<\/em><\/a> by Richard Milward. \u2022 Related: You\u2019ve got male: British beefcake photos<\/a> from the 1940s to the 1970s.<\/p>\n
