Description
62-year-old Reeve lies in a hospital bed - the result of a vicious beating. As he convalesces, he recontructs his own history - not the history of his life and of his mentor, Tom Slater, but of 50 years of America and the gay experience. Merlis' award-winning first novel is now back in print to illuminate a world which for many years has never been known - and yet, for some, will never be forgotten.
