. . . this is one of the most vital and important works in gay literary history . . . -- Xtra! West

Review

For every gay man or woman out there, for every twink trolling on Davie St., for every proud queen in Vancouver, for every FrannyÂ—this is one of the most vital and important works in gay literary history and I implore everyone who may be the slightest bit ignorant about our past, our trials, and our sacrifices, to read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not erotica or pornography, September 23, 2002

By	TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Franny (Paperback)

This very short books is a series of monologues by Franny, a gay man who embraces the role of "queen" not only by wearing what might be considered feminine clothing but also by protecting and teaching other gay men to accept themselves and not hide from the world around them. The monologues begin in 1950 when Franny is just accepting who he is and learning to become part of his community. The monologue chronical Franny's life for four decades as he interacts with dragqueens, butch gay men, lesbians, politicos, and intellectuals who come to view Franny as a staple and inspiring force in their lives. No explicit sexuality at all but a serious of honest and common spoken pieces representing the changes gay men and the mainstream culture around them experience post WWII. Often considered one of the best gay novels in American literature.
