In June 1969, the legendary Stonewall Rebellion in New York's Greenwich Village began the national gay civil rights movement. Fritscher, one-time lover of Robert Mapplethorpe and early intimate of elegant Picasso biographer and Vanity Fair author John Richardson, is the highly acclaimed novelist, award-winning historian, and polished prose stylist. His best-selling Some Dance to Remember: A Memoir-Novel of San Francisco 1970-1982 pairs perfectly with his nonfiction tour de force Gay San Francisco as roots landmarks in gay literature.
In his fiction collection celebrating Stonewall's 40th anniversary, Fritscher (now 70 years old) unreels nine perfectly crafted stories introduced by literary critics Richard Labonté and Mark Thompson.
