It 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 -- and one of the most memorable literary creations of contemporary fiction. Hilarious, witty, and ultimately heartbreaking, <i>Dancer from the Dance</i> is truthful, provocative, outrageous fiction told in a voice as close to laughter as to tears. 225125 1978 Dancer from the Dance: A Novel total:247|5:78|4:96|3:57|2:13|1:3| 247 974 342 29 3 1 false false Fri Feb 08 06:08:14 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 13:46:50 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 06:07:46 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Mar 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 09:02:57 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 09:14:24 -0700 2008
