Böcker av Steven Gaines

"Picking up where he left off at the end of his widely praised debut memoir, One of These Things First, Gaines recounts his hilarious, sometimes poignant attempt to forge a writing career and a successful love life in the gay world of the 1970s. He has limited success until he falls in love with an older woman dying of cancer. Meanwhile, he serendipitously begins a career as a writer when he meets a former child evangelist, and with naèive chutzpah, manages a to land a book deal that leads to a whirlwind career as a biographer, rock and roll columnist, and roman áa clef novelist who writes a book with a Studio 54 bartender that brings the world down around them."--
