#nowreading DARK RENAISSANCE: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare’s Greatest Rival, Christopher Marlowe, by Stephen Greenblatt #malewriter #nonfiction
ID: Photo of the book cover, featuring a portrait, believed to be of Marlowe, by an anonymous painter, arranged such that only the left side of his face is visible, his brown eyes gazing steadily out at the viewer. His collar-length brown hair flows out from the side of his head and he has a light beard shading his jawline but leaving his cheeks bare. He wears a black doublet with a white collar and red buttons, patterned with red diagonal lines which look like an interrupted zigzag pattern

ID: Photo of the book cover. The illustration includes a man with brown hair, a white t-shirt and a green apron behind a counter; he is resting his forearms on the counter and there is a blender with purple juice in it next to him.

Watching an old episode of Murder, She Wrote and I just have to share this Extremely 1986 hairdo
Still from the season 2 episode, Murder in the Electric Cathedral, showing a woman on the phone with the 80s-est hair that ever did 80s. The back is fairly short and the sides are swept back, but the front looks like it was teased for a good hour

#nowreading THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS, by John Wyndham #malewriter #sciencefiction #dayofthetriffids
ID: Photo of my op shop copy of the 1954 Penguin edition, with a navy dot sticker, indicating that it cost me $2.

The triffid has large leaves at its base, from which grows a trunk-shaped flower with an extremely long pistil ending in a row of stigmata, depicted as smaller flowers

Why are you gay?
Greg Louganis, in 1984, wearing only a black Speedo and his two medals from the Los Angeles Olympics. But only because I have no access to images of the men’s underwear pages of the Myer Christmas catalogs of the late 70s and early 80s

#nowreading BURY YOUR GAYS, by @chucktingle.bsky.social #fiction #malewriter #queerfiction
ID: Screenshot of the cover art. The background is black and the author and title are block capitals, inverted to expose a deeper background. The author name reveals a lurid pink, and the title reveals an equally lurid LA; ‘bury’ shows a blue and pink sky, ‘your’ shows the sky turning orange behind the tops of palm trees, and ‘gays’ shows the lower trunks of the palms, a stretch of beach and the ocean. Interposed over and under the text is a sledgehammer dripping with rivulets of glistening blood Across the top of the cover is the text, “USA Today bestselling author of Camp Damascus”, with the strap line “You can make a killing in Hollywood” across the bottom

ID: Photo of the book cover. It is yellow, with the title and Dr Cheng’s name in white, and the subtitle in red, as is the attribution, “author of How to Bake Pi”.
