Arch Brown’s Non-theatrical Writing

 

A Novel

A humorous look of what happens when an openly gay man returns for a funeral to his humungous in-bred Mid-western family of silly gossiping aunts and over-sexed cousins. Is it Infighting? Intrigue? Incest? Or does it all lead, as always, to broken homes, broken bones and broken hearts?

“Funny, enjoyable and very very real. Makes one nostalgic for those long-ago times that weren’t really as sweet as we remember.”

“A wonderful family portrait that’s both hysterical and scary. We all had relatives like this in one way or another.”

“The central theme is one we all can relate to: If this is my clan, how and where the hell did I come from?”
 


A Double Biography

Arch Brown’s autobiography of his life with Bruce Allen Brown covers their 28 years together, from their naked meeting at the old Stauch’s bath house at Coney Island to Bruce’s early death after several strokes, brain hemorrhages and surgeries.

“Longtime Companions, the lovely collection of coupled stories from the Haworth Press is a telling portrait of lives too often hidden from the world.”

“Brown has set this romance within a framework of dances and ballets, and succeeds beautifully in capturing their love for each other, and for the music they obviously both loved so much.”

“It’s easy to get lost in the charming sweetness of the writing in this nimbly told love story.  But love’s truth and sadness are present too… in spades!”
 


A Short Story

A very personal story about a long-term relationship between a gay man and his passion for a married man who appears, disappears and re-appears over many years. The original lust slowly morphs into love, respect and trust between 2 men whose lives are spent in horizontal ecstasy.

“A smart and sexy story about a fire that just can not be put out!”

“Two people tied together in a very ravenous romance neither truly understands.”
