Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Review:"The cast of characters is intriguingly wicked and degenerate, the dialogue brilliant." Los Angeles Times Book Review Review:"Beautifully written, evocative and hilarious...Holleran has the uncanny ability to combine emotional abandon and high comedy." New Republic Review:"An astonishingly beautiful book. The best gay novel written by anone of our generation."
