In Adult Art, a short story by Allan Gurganus, a closeted gay Superintendent of Schools-who has what he calls an added tenderness-bonds with Barker, a shy newcomer in town, over their mutual love of the Adult Art Film and Book store. The evening unfolds as they watch an adult film together in Barker's house, stirring up old memories, imaginings of the future, and secret intimacy.
