The Haunts of His Youth, by Jonathan Strong.

Most of the stories aren't "out" gay fiction but they're all gay fiction, so that's interesting.

There is no good homosexual literature. The spectrum ranges from fanfiction to dogshit. Dosto wrote an unfinished novel that's basically shoujo ai though, check it out.

Anything by Yukio Mishima. Even when he's writing about women like in Spring Snow, it still reads as homoerotic.
Also, Nightwood by Djuna Barnes.

There's got to be more than this. What about third millennium?

Let's see for my Queer Fiction class we had to read:

The Hours - Michael Cunningham (though more Lesbian than gay)
The line of Beauty - Alan Hollinghurst
Oranges are not the only fruit - Jeanette Winterson
The gifts of the body - Rebecca Brown

Also Dhalgren by Samuel Delany is a great gay book. The way sex happens so casually reminds me for some reason of of Kake comics by Tom of Finland
