| A new version of this great classic from a new publisher, with better editing and set up. | |
"This author has moved this book to a new publisher as of April and it has a lot less "fill" now.

*grin* I see what you did there, Habu. Home to Fire Island is actually an exploration of Lacanian psychoanalytic theory through a gay erotic bildungsroman. Clever work, man. My hat's off to you. The imaginary, the unconscious, and the Symbolic Danny... " Read more of this review » |

“It is the most fun I’m ever going to have. I love to write. I love it. I mean, there’s nothing in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I’m so very bad at it. It’s the greatest peace when I’m in a scene, and it’s just me and the character, that’s it, that’s where I want to live my life.”

“If you write fiction you are, in a sense, corrupted. There's a tremendous corruptibility for the fiction writer because you're dealing mainly with sex and violence. These remain the basic themes, they're the basic themes of Shakespeare whether you like it or not.”

“Giving a reader a sex scene that is only half right is like giving her half of a kitten. It is not half as cute as a whole kitten; it is a bloody, godawful mess.”
