- Homosexuals, Male Homosexuality, Male homosexuality
Part autobiographical, part fiction, this is a satirical and self-accusing tour of the London gay scene in what subsequently proved to be the last days before AIDS became a reality. The book takes the form of a series of dramatic monologues and dialogues involving a small cast of queens who move from one watering hole to the next in the course of a 24 hour period, descending into hell, the gay night-club Heaven.
