The Palace of Varieties by James Lear

This extremely graphic novel brims with male sex from the sordid to the sublime, in every position, place and variety! Hero Paul Lemoyne leaves his humble home to begin a new life as a music hall stagehand, but soon discovers there are richer pickings to be had from the stage-door johnnies who haunt the Palace of Varieties' Music Hall. And thus begins the rake's progress from low-life prostitution to the salons and studios of Mayfair, from the bathhouses of Bermondsey to the rarefied circles of modern art - while his lover and corrupter lurks behind the scenes...

James Lear is the pen name of a well-known and prolific novelist. He is the author of The Back Passage, The Hidden Tunnel, Hot Valley, The Low Road, and The Palace of Variety under the name James Lear. He is based in London.
