  1. Summary

    The Reno Cure is set in the summer of 1959, when classics professor Stede Bonnet resigns his position at the University of Chicago, and leaves his wife for only place in the United States where you can get a no-fault divorce: the deserts of Nevada. He’s booked at a so-called Divorce Ranch just outside of Reno, where he’ll spend the requisite six weeks establishing residency, where he meets Ed Teach, who introduces him to the underground gay nightlife scene that is still recovering from the brutal vice raids of the McCarthy era.

    From Reno, With Love is an open-ended series that continues Ed and Stede's stories for the next four decades, as they build a life together with their family and friends. See Series Notes for a chronological order.

    Summary

    Dunk never felt so young as he did around Egg. Young, and terrified, and stupid. So he had to be tall, for the both of them, even though sometimes what he wanted, more than anything else, was for someone bigger and stronger and kinder to pat him on the head and tell him it would all be fine.

    Summary

    It’s the summer of 1959, and classics professor Stede Bonnet is determined to become a new man. He’s made two monumental changes so far: he’s resigned his position at the University of Chicago, where he has taught for his entire career, and he’s left his wife Mary, to whom he has been married for nine years. Now he’s off to the only place in the United States where you can get a no-fault divorce: the deserts of Nevada. He’s checking in to a so-called Divorce Ranch just outside of Reno, where he’ll spend the requisite six weeks establishing residency. After that, it’s off to California to assume his new teaching position and his new life.

    It's the summer of 1959. Ed Teach has been living in Reno since he was a teenager. He's a radio DJ, an artist, a handyman and a fixture of the community, particularly popular in the underground gay nightlife scene that is still recovering from the brutal vice raids of the McCarthy era.

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet has always dreamed of space. As a child, it was his parents that held him back. As an adult, it’s the looming presence of protective Dome that stops him from mapping the stars. Stede thinks he might have figured out a way around the Domes, but he’ll need the help of a genius to do it. When he approaches the famous inventor Blackbeard, that decision changes everything and takes Stede places he thought he’d only gaze at longingly from afar.
