Description
In this provocative, brilliantly reasoned book, charged throughout with a penetrating eye and stinging wit, Harris examines the many shadings of the gay experience as they have evolved over time. Includes the demise of camp and kink, the evolution of personal ads, the origins of the underwear revolution, the changing face of porn, the morph of leathermen and drag queens, and the marketing of AIDS as a commodity.
