Don Strachey is a private dick who really earns his title." - Armistead Maupin "Stevenson writes wittily and knowingly about his subjects, both the gay world and the world of politics, and draws telling portraits of the bitter, clever amusing men who inhabit both." - West Coast Review of BooksHinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
