<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>An astonishingly beautiful book. The best gay novel written by anyone of our generation. -- <em>Harper's </em>magazine</strong></p><p>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. </p><p>Hilarious, witty, and ultimately heartbreaking, <em>Dancer from the Dance</em> is truthful, provocative, outrageous fiction told in a voice as close to laughter as to tears.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>One of the most important works of gay literature, this haunting, brilliant novel is a seriocomic remembrance of things past -- and still poignantly present.
