Gore Vidal's The City and the Pillar (it got him blacklisted by the NYT).

Nothing gay about it. The aristocrat was satan and when Dorian made the wish he made it real.

>nothing gay about it
Kek, this is what some readers actually believe.

OP, read Mishima. 'Teleny, or the Reverse of the Medal' (attributed to Oscar Wilde) is another of my favorites.

I can actually contribute, because I just finished one of the most beautifully homoerotic books I've ever read...

BILLY BUDD

Everyone always points to Moby Dick, but there's the stuff with Queequeg, and the squeezing of the lumps of sperm, and 500 pages with nothing homoerotic.

Billy Budd, on the other hand, has this relationship between Billy and Captain Veers, and really all the other sailors, right at the center of the story. And it's short, so you have no excuse not to read it.

Other than that, I'd argue most Jack Kerouac novels have homoerotic elements, with Ginsberg and Burroughs beating him out for gayness.

Oh, and Cry to Heaven. Beautifully gay.
