Dear Friends is certainly one of the most interesting and provocative studies of American photography to have appeared in years. Deitcher refuses to read these poignant images EITHER as clear-cut evidence of gay relationships OR as . . . merely the standard poses of comradeship of the period. Instead, he investigates the unexplored territory that lies between these two polesa history of social relations, personal contact, and literary friendship.
