About the Book

A bold, razor-sharp political thriller set in post-Harvey Milk San Francisco, From Violent Men is a searing portrait of justice, identity, and vengeance in the early 1980s LGBTQ+ community. When a small group of gay men secretly plot to assassinate a Dan White-like figure-now protected in prison-the lines between justice and revenge blur. Rick Jessup, a young gay journalist, finds himself in the crosshairs of a deadly conspiracy as he's drawn into a web of activism, cover-ups, and dangerous passion. Originally published in 1983 and now reissued in this 41st Anniversary Edition, Daniel Curzon's daring novel explores the aftermath of political betrayal, the early gay rights movement, and the moral complexity of fighting back. Curzon, known for his pioneering voice in LGBTQ+ literature, delivers a gripping narrative infused with satire, emotion, and explosive twists.

Review :
"A tense drama around a small group of gay men who plot to murder a Dan White-like character while he is in prison." -Bookpaper "Buy this book and read it because it will entertain you. Its many other provocations are gratis." -The Advocate "An excellent book." -Herb Caen, SF Chronicle "...executes it brilliantly, creating a mesmerizing portrait of White through the events and people that surround such a revenge killing. ...Curzon fans will cheer this one, and still manage to find themselves outwitted at nearly every turn as the plot snakes its way over the hills of the famous city." -Drummer Magazine "Well written." -Library Journal "From start to finish, FROM VIOLENT MEN is a virtuoso performance. It is political thriller, moral fable, murder mystery, hard-edged satire and black comedy blended into a story of wish fulfillment turned horrendously askew." -S.F. Sentinel "A great book, one that the reader will not soon forget." -The Weekly News, Miami "FROM VIOLENT MEN, while not always comfortable reading, is a significant addition to gay male literature. Curzon's tragic vision of human passion and human action has all the complex resonances of Greek tragedy. The style, structure and characterizations suggest his exceptional maturity as a writer. With this novel he clearly emerges as a major contributor to gay male culture in particular and to American culture in general." -Philadelphia Gay News "It remains, to the final paragraph, suspenseful, engaging, and brutally honest about the human condition." -California Voice
