Cultural Writing. Gay/Lesbian Studies. Ron Padgett's warm, conversational memoir is an unlikely and true story of two childhood friends, one straight and one gay, who grew up in 1950s Oklahoma, surprised their families by moving to New York City in search of art and poetry, and became part of the dynamic community of artists and writers whose work continues to shape Amerian culture.
