In his ribald and tender first book, “Wild Animals I Have Known: Polk Street Diaries and After” (Green Candy Press, 2002), and now in a new memoir, “Let's Shut Out the World” (Green Candy Press), Mr. Bentley announces himself to a gay literary scene suffering from middle-aged doldrums. And he does so in back-door fashion, with a diary and a memoir whose substance is, raunchily, bracingly and tenderly sex.
