Description
Gary Indiana's memoir is a provocative and deeply personal exploration of his life and work. A true radical voice in American literature, Indiana shares vivid recollections of his early days growing up gay in rural New Hampshire, his escape to Haight-Ashbury in the post-summer-of-love era, and his existence in New York in the 1980s as a downtown personality. The book is interspersed with present-day chapters set against the vibrant culture and raw sexuality of Cuba, where Indiana has lived and worked for over fifteen years. Connoisseurs of Indiana's writing will recognize the same unique blend of humor, realism, philosophy, and immediacy that have defined his work. This memoir is an engrossing read, offering a serious contribution to the genres of gay and literary non-fiction. With its atmospheric prose and unflinching honesty, I Can Give You Anything but Love is a compelling and revealing portrait of one of America's most brilliant and provocative writers.
