Challenges to a Gay Life in the Early 1990s
Stan Leventhal's novel gives a fairly accurate depiction of what it was like to be a gay man of the Baby Boomer/Sexual Revolution generation inManhattan in the early 1990s. Stuck in a going-nowhere relationship andliving in a tiny apartment in the West Village, the narrator (whose name isnever mentioned, or at least it is not mentioned often) has to come toterms with being HIV+, after having lost many close friends himself. Thebook is an interesting glimpse that should have been a lot longer. But, itis the last writing Leventhal did before his own death. Some aspects of thestory seem awfully abbreviated, especially the narrators very quickacceptance of his HIV+ status (there are many other better books on thattopic). But, Leventhal touches on a lot of challenges facing a gay NewYorker of his generation in the early 1990s: bad bosses, alienation fromheterosexual siblings, issues with parents, gentrification, and losses onmany levels. The writing styles change from one chapter to the next, butit's a quick read and not unworthwhile, as the protagonist faces hisproblems and manages to keep optimism in sight.

Leventhal's legacy to gayfiction: helping found the Pat Parker/Vito Russo Library at the Lesbian andGay Community Service Center in NYC. ... Read more
