Richard Lipez, Who Reimagined the Gay Detective Novel, Dies at 83
Richard Lipez, the author of a series of crime novels centered on an openly gay detective who, unlike the one-dimensional depictions common in the genre in the 1980s and ’90s, is not a tortured soul or a freak but a relatable character who is content with his life, died on March 16 at his home in Becket, Mass. He was 83. The cause was pancreatic cancer, said his husband, Joe Wheaton.
