Publisher's Synopsis

  • A brilliant and often humorous memoir about the San Francisco queer punk/camp underground in the 80s and early 90s.
  • Explores the devastating effects of AIDS and how the camp counterculture used humor to stay sane.
  • An superb addition to the #ownvoices queer history genre.
  • Author Alvin Orloff has previously written three humorous queer novels, including I Married an Earthling, Gutter Boys, and Why Aren't You Smiling?
  • As manager of one of the premier LGBTQ+ bookstores in the US, author Orloff is deeply enmeshed in queer literary community and will be instrumental in marketing.
  • Includes 60 iconic b/w photos from the period
