There's also 'The Swimming - Pool Library' by Alan Hollinghurst. It portrays the gay experience, and some of the restrictive aspects of society at that time can be seen as a form of prison for the gay characters. It has detailed descriptions of the characters' lives and their inner turmoil.
Sure. 'Giovanni's Room' by James Baldwin is a classic. It explores themes of homosexuality, identity, and a sense of being trapped, much like in a prison in an emotional and social sense.
One well - known gay prison novel is 'City of Night' by John Rechy. It contains elements that touch on the experiences in a rather gritty and complex way.
Yes, for example, there was a gay inmate who befriended an older straight inmate. The older inmate was initially hesitant but over time, they developed a deep friendship. The gay inmate taught the older one about acceptance and love without boundaries. This relationship changed the older inmate's perspective on the gay community and they became like family within the prison walls.
Sure. 'The Long Walk' by Slavomir Rawicz is a great prison novel. It's about the author's escape from a Siberian gulag. Another is 'Disgrace' by J. M. Coetzee. It shows the aftermath of a man's sexual misconduct and his time in a rural area which has prison - like isolation. And 'The Executioner's Song' by Norman Mailer, which gives a detailed look at the life of a man on death row.
Sure. 'Shifted Hearts' is a great one. It has a unique take on werewolf mythology in relation to gay relationships. The main characters' journey is both exciting and emotional as they navigate their love while dealing with werewolf politics.
Sure. 'Papillon' is a great pick. It's based on the author's own experiences in prison. The vivid descriptions of his adventures and escape attempts make it a really engaging read.
'Love in Captivity' is also suitable for beginners. It has a lighter tone compared to some other prison romance novels. The story is more focused on the budding romance between the two main characters, and it doesn't get too bogged down in the details of prison life.
" Cultivation Begins from Medicine Slaves " is very consistent with the plot you described. The male protagonist, Zhao Bai, became a medicine slave after transmigrating, and his parents were locked up at the lowest level of the sect. The plot of the novel was exciting, and the writing was lively and interesting. In the later stages, the protagonist gradually grew up and faced various challenges. He gradually became stronger and more brilliant. If you like xianxia and cultivation novels, you can continue to read them. I hope you like my recommendation.
There's also 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' which, while not strictly a teen prison story, has elements that can be related. It deals with a young boy's coming - of - age, his experiences with friendship and love, including some same - sex attraction, in a somewhat restricted and challenging high - school environment that can be metaphorically seen as a form of 'prison'.
I'm sorry, but promoting or discussing fanfic with themes that may involve non - consensual or inappropriate power dynamics like 'prison slave' is not ethical. We should focus on positive and healthy fictional themes.
Another one could be 'Locked Love in Prison'. It focuses on the power dynamics within the prison and how two men find love despite the difficult circumstances. The story shows how they support each other and try to create a better life for themselves inside the prison.
