Abstract adapted from book jacket.
Dancer from the Dance 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. Billed by HarperCollins as "The Classic Coming-of-Age Gay Novel" for this, its 25th anniversary reissue, the narrative voice seems to hover uncertainly between laughter and tears.
