Some purple prose in there, it's true (and I sometimes lost a little track of the many characters), but it's absolutely essential, required reading. A tremendous story, a beautiful character study, and an important historical account. I'm a little embarrassed I just got around to it.

Devastating, brutal, brilliantly important. A fearless monument to the hell our binary brings to butches. It is clumsily written, which is a shame, but it does not detract from its power.
