Review
“I laughed ‘til I cried. Polka strikes a hilarious chord!” -- Paula Brown, Features Editor, The Gayly Oklahoman, Oklahoma City
“Kevin Isom dances into our lives once again, bringing us his own unique brand of queer humor... Fantastic footwork!” -- Kevin Klahr, Book Reviewer, The Gazette, Tampa
“Kevin uses his keen sense of observation and razor-sharp wit to cut straight to the funny bone." -- Brad Purkey, Book Reviewer, The Liberty Press, Wichita, Kansas
“The writing is witty, his observations are dead on, and there’s always a good point.” -- Keith Hartman, author of Gumshoe Gorilla and The Gumshoe, the Witch, and the Virtual Corpse
Product Description
Syndicated gay humorist Kevin Isom is back—with more hilarious and thought-provoking takes on queer life. In this follow-up to his book Tongue in Cheek and Other Places: A Seriously Humorous Look at Queer Life, Isom takes a cue from his latest interest—couples dancing—and looks at queer life as a dance. From chapters like Couples Waltz (a mostly upbeat dance with occasional dips and unexpected turns) to Last Tango (when your dance partnership has exceeded its sell-by date), and from Lead or Follow (stereotypes just can’t boogie) to Queer as Polka (sometimes it’s just plain odd), Isom shows us a Dancin’ Queen who knows how to get into the gay groove. Tap your toe to the rhythm, and read on, baby!
