<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book is about relationships, mostly gay but some straight and even a few between gays and straights. Here Mordden continues to map the unstoried wilderness of gay life today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>What unites us, all of us, surely is brotherhood, a sense that our friendships are historic, designed to hold Stonewall together, muses on character in Ethan Mordden's <i>Buddies. </i>This need for friendship, for nonerotic affection, for buddies, shines forth as an American obsession from <i>Moby-Dick </i>through <i>Of Mice and Men </i>to <i>The Sting. </i>And American gay life has built upon and cherished these relationships, even as it has dared-perhaps its most startling iconoclasm-to break new ground by combining romance and friendship: one's lover is one's buddy. <p/>This book is about those relationships-mostly gay but some straight and even a few between gays and straights. Here also are fathers and brothers and stories of men in their youth, when rivalry often develops more naturally than alliance. In <i>Buddies </i>Mordden continues to map the unstoried wilderness of gay life today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"[This viewer has] considerable admiration for the collection." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"There are too few writers who can turn a phrase with as much wit and style as Ethan Mordden.
