I've a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore: Tales from Gay Manhattan

Interlocking tales about a small group of friends discovering the new world of Manhattan gay life. The urbane gay milieu of Manhattan and Fire Island is the setting for Ethan Mordden's new novel. "We have traded tales, my buddies and I; of affairs, encounters, discoveries, week-ends, parties, secrets, fears, self-pro-motion-of fantasies that we make real in the telling." In these tales about a small group of friends exploring the new world of gay life-and the new people they are in the process of becoming-Mordden investigates his suspicion "that all of gay life is stories and that, somehow or other, all these stories are about love." Ethan Mordden brings a unique and beguiling voice to the contemporary literary scene, at once ironic, wistful, witty, penetrating, playful and profound.
