1970

Song of the Loon was adapted as an erotic film in 1970 without Amory's involvement and much to his disgust. It also inspired a spoof, Fruit of the Loon by "Richard Armory" (in reality veteran porn writer George Davies who wrote under pen names including Clay Caldwell or Lance Lester).

1966

Amory is best known for his 1966 novel Song of the Loon: A Gay Pastoral in Five Books and an Interlude and its sequels, including Song of Aaron and Listen, the Loon Sings. Variously described as "a gay American version of famous sixteenth-century Spanish pastoral novels" and "a gay version of The Last of the Mohicans," Song of the Loon has been called "one of the most important gay books of the 20th century." In 1994 one bibliographer estimated that one third of American gay men had read the novel.
