Paper Cuts: My Life in Chicago's Volatile LGBTQ Press

Paper Cuts: My Life in Chicago's Volatile LGBTQ Pressaf Rick Karlin
Bag om Paper Cuts: My Life in Chicago's Volatile LGBTQ Press

"Paper Cuts: My Life in Chicago's Volatile LGBTQ Press is the story of Rick Karlin's life writing for Chicago's newspapers, balancing that with his family life outside of it. Joining the staff at GayLife in 1978 gave Karlin a front-row seat at some of the momentous events in post-Stonewall LGBTQ history. From the privileged vantage point of a newspaper office, he watched the rise and fall of disco, the AIDS crisis, same-sex marriage, bars opening and closing, and LGBTQ newspapers coming and going. Like gossip columnists, Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons, Karlin knew the dirt going on behind the scenes. ... Scratch the veneer of what Karlin calls his "so-called celebrity" and you will find a man of conviction, morals, and a keen sense of community. In short, Rick Karlin is a jewel in the crown of Chicago's LGBTQ press. In 1978 he dived into a polluted pool and, holding his nose, swam in it for decades. And Chicago is all the better for it"--Page 4 of cover.
