''Adrenaline'' is the first novel written by James Robert Baker (1946–1997), an American author of sharply satirical, predominantly gay-themed transgressional fiction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=2006-10-18 )〕〔Rivenburg, Roy. ("He's Angry, Raunchy and Unapologetic". ) ''Los Angeles Times'', April 8, 1993; p. E-1.〕
==History==
After graduating from UCLA, he began his career as a screenwriter, but became disillusioned and started writing novels instead.〔Harris M. Lentz, ''Obituaries in the Performing Arts, 1997: Film, Television, Radio, Theatre, Dance, Music, Cartoons and Pop Culture'', McFarland & Co., 1998, ISBN 0-7864-0460-4, ISBN 978-0-7864-0460-5.〕 After the controversy surrounding publication of his novel, ''Tim and Pete'', he faced increasing difficulty having his work published.
''Adrenaline'' was published in 1985 under the pseudonym James Dillinger.〔"James Robert Baker, Writer", ''The Palm Beach Post'', p. 3B, Nov 25, 1997.〕 A story of two gay fugitive lovers on the run, it presaged the satire and drug fueled violence so prominent in his later books.〔Joel Perry, "Pumped Fiction: The newest pedal-To-The-Metal Novel by James Robert Baker is, Sadly, His Last", ''The Advocate'' p. 73, October 10, 2000.〕 Here Baker began developing the themes that dominated his following works: anarchy; angry and somewhat paranoid gay men; the dark underside of Los Angeles, juxtaposed with its sunny outward image;〔Martin Dines, "From Subterranean to Suburban: The Landscapes of Gay Outlaw Writing", ''American Studies Journal, Number 50, Fall 2007, ISSN: 1433-5239.〕 the hypocrisy of organized religion; anonymous sex and its implications in the age of AIDS; and homophobia and the oppression of gays in a Republican-dominated America.〔Wharton, Greg.
