Summary: A beautiful book and a true classic
Comment: Andrew Holleran is a beautiful writer. His style is vivid yet dreamlike. I read this book a couple of years after it first came out and I never forgot it. Already the world was starting to change and yet that New York hedonsistic gay lifestyle had really spread to other gay urban areas. I think most of us knew a Sutherland and a Malone. Anyway, it is funny, moving and an amazing snapshot of what the gay lifestyle was like at the time. To younger readers who dismiss this as the olden days, I say two words: Circuit Party. Now, read the book the again.

Summary: A love letter from the REAL "golden age of promiscuity"
Comment: Where to begin? I've read this book at least six times since that first all-night session in the late seventies and it still gives my heart a pang to look at the original cover. The book works on so many levels that I've never hesitated to recommend/give/nag my straight, gay, and will-bed-anything-that-moves friends into reading it--and they have ALL thanked me for the experience. The achingly rendered images of New York in the seventies--Puerto Rican mothers sitting on the stairs on hot summer nights giving their babies Coca-Cola straight from the bottle, dancing all night at Flamingo then walking home thru the empty skyscrapers on bright Sunday mornings, the way sex feels when it's exactly what you need with exactly the right person. Some people say DFTD is dated, it's pre-AIDS so it's irrelevant, promotes tired gay stereotypes, etc. They fail to recognize that a classic--and this book is one--never goes out of style. It's a beautifully written time capsule of a book that should and will delight readers for many many years to come. Read it.

Summary: Wonderful Pair in Poker Hand: 2 Queens
Comment: Andrew Holleran's Dancer from the Dance and Jack Fritscher's Some Dance to Remember. Two wonderful 1970s novels that read more real than fiction.
