Produktbeschreibung
Adam in the Morning is about men and women who fought in the Stonewall riots in June and early July, 1969. They ask each other, "What's happening here?" They talk politics, they throw bricks and molotov cocktails at the cops, they get bloodied, and they read The Wretched of the Earth by Franz Fanon. They have sex. They lose their fear and understand their world has profoundly changed. They discuss big issues: What can we do to change our world? Am I strong enough? Are there enough of us? They are ready for the Revolution. Bo, the carpenter, thinks of starting a home for the street kids but also something even more dramatic, and Andrew, his partner, is starting a newspaper. Joseph, the actor, has fallen in love but can fight better than any of the rest of them. One of them says after the last night's riot, "It's as if we've got more space in the city." They are committed to their cause, to each other, to all of people on the street, and their eyes look to the future.

Autorenporträt
Dwight Cathcart has written four novels on queer issues: Ceremonies, Winter Rain, Race Point Light, and Adam in the Morning. All these novels tell the stories about LGBTQ people which are largely ignored today. He writes about homophobia before Stonewall-even today-and how that felt to LGBTQ people, and he writes about LGBTQ people fighting back. He shows the adult lives of his people as they go about living in a culture which threatens them with loss of all the gains of recent years and which bullies the youngest of them into suicide. His novels attempt to tell the stories of the full range of adult people at a full range of ages coping with a world which requires all their strength and all their intelligence to preserve their history and their freedom to feel and to live.
