The Lambda Book Awards don't have a red carpet yet, and it's probably just as well. TV viewers wouldn't get to see all those plastic Beautiful People so familiar at the Oscars, Golden Globes, etc. They'd have to look at a bunch of unplastic poets, journalists, novelists, scholars, historians, playwrights and eroticists straggling along the red carpet - along with editors, publishers, agents, critics and other unvarnished ancillary workers in an art that is facing some real economic problems right now.
