Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the fifties and sixties a thriving genre of trashy, sensationalistic pulp novels purporting to expose the sordid twilight world of lesbians sprang up. While most these dime store novels were written by and for straight men and traded mostly in ugly stereotypes about lesbians (and their eventual defeat and/or rescue by a male hero), a rare few were actually written by lesbian authors who attempted to treat their heroines with respect—and a healthy splash of camp and sensationalism, too.Among the most famous of these were the five novels that make up The Beebo Brinker Chronicles, by Ann Bannon. The books follow the coming out and search for love and happiness by pretty, feminine, very damaged Laura, and her Bifauxnen lover Beebo in 1950's Greenwich Village. Melodrama, angst, and sex ensue.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused by a certain cat that smokes and has facial hair, or with the blue-furred plush toy / time-demon killer. | |

The Alcoholic: Beebo and Jack. An unfortunate, and unfortunately realistic, side effect of all that Gayngst. | |

ContemptibleCover | |
| The Beebo Brinker Chronicles / int_a438a622 | comment |
Contemptible Cover: Done in the 50s with images that look very tame compared to today. The recent reprints take it Up to Eleven with incredibly over-the-top and sleazy images in order to replicate the effect. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| The Beebo Brinker Chronicles / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Laura's parents were divorced. Not only did lesbianism require a Freudian Excuse in The Fifties, this counted as one. Although in the second book, Laura says her father hates her because her family crashed their car into a lake and only Laura survived. If divorce didn't make her gay, this sure would. | |
