Description
Alistair Dodge and Roger Sansarc are second cousins who form a lifelong bond as nine-year-old boys in 1954. Their friendship is marked by moments of intersection, where each discovers their unique identity. Through their relationship and involvement with Matt Loguidice, Felice Picano chronicles gay life and subculture over the last half of the twentieth century, spanning from the 1950s to the 1990s. This novel presents a heroic and humorous account of the last three decades, drawing on the author's experiences and observations. It explores the gay community's evolution, from the sun-kissed beaches of Malibu to the legendary parties of Fire Island, and from San Francisco's vibrant era to the activism of Greenwich Village during the AIDS crisis. Through the lens of Alistair and Roger's complex and enduring relationship, Picano sheds light on the gay subculture of the past few decades, offering a candid and engaging portrayal of a pivotal period in history.
