Produktbeschreibung
The 1970s and early 1980s were an incredible time for LGBT life--especially for gay males. A time of exuberant dance clubs, flourishing gay neighborhoods bursting with energy, and sexual liaisons seemingly available everywhere in America's major cities. It was also a time of crisis for gay men, however--in particular, the angry cultural wars that arose on the right, along with the rising scourge of AIDS. Coming out in these years was fraught with complications. Finding and keeping a life partner was especially challenging because of the very sexual freedom that defined "gay liberation." In a culture where there was little glue to hold gay relationships together, Alex, Jimmy, and Devon faced their own individual challenges and demons in finding commitment and happiness-which in some cases proved to be all too brief.

Autorenporträt
Gary Reichard spent his entire career in higher education, as a professor of United States history and academic administrator. As a young father and beginning professor, he came out as a gay man--haltingly--in the period in which this book is set. Among the cities in which he has lived and worked are Columbus, Washington, DC, and New York, the cities in which the story takes place. Father of two and grandfather of four, he is now married to the man with whom he has lived for more than three decades. He is the author of several publications in United States History. This is his first work of fiction--and he hopes not his last.
