    This series is chilling. Such a tragic loss of an entire generation (almost) for all of humanity. The loss is even felt today, when we half half of the gay senior citizens we should, with their wealth of life and experience and art and love to pass on... I'm glad there is still documentation of it. Man, how technology has leaped forward, too.

      This was the first novel I ever read after high school in the 1970's and I cannot believe I am still alive to tell about it.

      even more sad when you consider.. we now know based on scientific data that HIV was in the USA as early as 1969. the toothpaste was just about all out of the tube by the late seventies.

    I read this book 41 years after it published and like every third page it described my life.

    "Dancer from the Dance" and "City of Night" are two classics that I really enjoyed in my 20s (1980s).

    Just ordered another copy of this classic and reading it while on "stay at home orders" in L.A. I read it years ago but I want to re-visit it. I've also read Holleran's other books. He does not sugar-coat the lives and behavior of gay men; I liked that even when I was younger and probably exemplified most of those same behaviors he questioned. Having survived what seemed like the genocide of my generation of gay men all I can say is "It was fun; it was fabulous; it was over... too fast." There will never be a time like it again. There were so many young gay men back then that looked like gods and so many incredibly handsome daddies as well. Sorry, but people were much happier then than they are now and not just because we have another damn pandemic going on.

      I agree. The loss continues into what should have been a lot of incredible, gay, senior citizens to pass on their gifts to the young.

    This book made me smile, broke my heart, I cried and I devoured it. It’s one of those books that observe into your skin and becomes part of your identity.

      Those exciting, lonely, heartbreaking, hopeful days of the seventies. It all went by too fast. You never know what you have until it's gone.

    Great stuff. I am rereading Aruba Nights. Holleran is a fine observer of the ways of humans. He is cynical of relationships and why we seek them. Dead on, in my view.

    It's sad to think what was probably already developing among these gay men in NYC by 1978.
