scandalously inscribed, 1983.
"for dave-- remembering a hot night in lincoln park --phil andros".
samuel morris steward, better known by his pseudonyms phil andros and phil sparrow, was an american tattoo artist, pornographer, and prolific diarist. steward meticulously documented his sexual experiences, keeping extensive secret journals and statistical records of his encounters. his writings, published under the phil andros persona, became an important part of the gay literary scene.
in the 1960s, steward began publishing his erotica in magazines under the name phil andros. early works explored themes of rough trade, sadomasochistic sex, and the racial and power dynamics in interracial male sexual encounters. he released his first story collection, $TUD, in 1966. by the late 60s, steward expanded into pulp pornographic novels, often using the character of phil andros—a hustler navigating a world of erotic adventures—as his narrator.
"andros' search for a reunion with his long-lost twin brother leads him to a tongue-bath in the sand, a helpful finger artist, a loaded sophomore who's a fast learner, and a butch cop in oakland."
