"A testament to White's versatility, his insatiable curiosity about the emergence of gays in modern American life.... Fascinating." --San Francisco Chronicle

Along with his essays of gay experience and desire, this magisterial collection of White's nonfiction writings includes dazzling subversive appreciations of cultural icons as diverse as Truman Capote and Cormac McCarthy, Robert Mapplethorpe and the singer formerly known as Prince.
