Originally published in 1978 at the height of the Gay Liberation movement, and just before the devastation of AIDS, this is one of the first "Gay" books ever written, and a modern classic.This haunting, brilliant novel is a seriocomic remembrance of things past - and still poignantly present. It depicts the adventures of Malone, a beautiful young man searching for love amid New York's emerging gay scene. From Manhattan's Everard Baths and after-hours discos to Fire Island's deserted parks and lavish orgies, Malone looks high and low for meaningful companionship. The person he finds is Sutherland, a campy quintessential queen - and one of the most memorable literary creations of contemporary fiction. Hilarious, witty and heartbreaking, Dancer from the Dance is truthful and provocative and a must-read.
