Please join us on Wednesday, November 13th at 5:30 for the LGBTQ+ Book Club discussion of "The Dancer From the Dance" by Andrew Holleran, led by local author Richard May!When Richard announced this was the next book, there was a collective cheer from the book club because people love it so much. Considered to be "the best gay novel written by anyone of our generation" by Harper's magazine, this 1978 classic is holds a sacred place in gay literary history for its seductive glimpse of post-Stonewall and pre-AIDS New York City." (The Nation)
"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 York's emerging gay scene. From Manhattan's Everard Baths and after-hours discos to Fire Island's 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."
Please join us for what promises to be a fantastic meeting, and please note the later time change!
