Laurence "Lars" Eighner Hexamer (born Laurence Vail Eighner, November 25, 1948 - December 23, 2021) was an American author and memoirist. He was the author of Travels with Lizbeth, a memoir of homelessness in the American Southwest during the late 1980s,[1] "a book widely regarded as one of the finest memoirs of recent decades."[2] Included as a chapter in that book was the essay "On Dumpster Diving,"[3] which is widely anthologized both at full length[4][5][6][7] and in abridged form under the title "My Daily Dives in the Dumpster."[8][9][10]
Eighner also wrote Pawn to Queen Four, a novel; Lavender Blue: How to Write and Sell Gay Men's Erotica,[11] also published as Elements of Arousal[12] (an early edition includes an introduction by noted erotica author John Preston[13]); Gay Cosmos, a work of gay theory; and numerous short works of gay men's erotica,[14] collected under various titles.
