Description
HarperCollins Publishers Inc Dancer From The Dance by Andrew Holleran
An astonishingly beautiful book. The best gay novel written by anyone of our generation. Harpers magazine
One of the most important works of gay literature 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 Yorks emerging gay scene. From Manhattans Everard Baths and afterhours discos to Fire Islands 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 ultimately heartbreaking Dancer from the Dance is truthful provocative outrageous fiction told in a voice as close to laughter as to tears.
