Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Among the deluge of offerings in this burgeoning niche market, this work brings together some of the more sophisticated minds writing today. This collection of reviews, essays, and interviews reads like the liveliest of cafe society debate. Articles are grouped by theme such as the literary, the political, the historical, and the scientific. Edmund White and Felice Picano reminisce on the Violet Quill, the gay writers' group that bloomed in the 1970s. There is a lively debate on the value of political and cultural assimilation among Congressman Barney Frank, gay Republican leader Rich Tafel, and authors David Bergman and Bruce Bawer. The collection also includes historic snapshots of gay New York City early in the 20th century. Recommended for most larger collections where literary and social journals will be read.?Jeffery Ingram, Newport P.L., Ore.
