A vivid, funny
portrait of the four
tumultuous years a young editor spent
working in the gay press. Boston's weekly Gay
Community News was the center of the
universe during the late 1970s, writes Amy
Hoffman in this memoir of gay liberation before AIDS, before gay weddings, and before The L Word. Provocative, informative, inspiring, and absurd, with a small circulation but a huge influence, Gay Community News produced a generation of leaders, writers, and friends. In addition to capturing the heady atmosphere of the times the victories, controversies, and tragedies Hoffman's memoir is also her personal story, written with wit and insight, of growing up in a political movement; of her deepening relationships with charismatic, talented, and sometimes utterly weird coworkers; and of trying to explain it all to her large Jewish family..
