Industry Reviews
"Daniel Harris ponders the fate of gay male culture in the face of its entrance into the mainstream....[He] joins a growing chorus of urban gay writers lamenting gay men's loss of their radical edge and their supposed transformation into little more than a profitable niche market...He poses genuinely interesting and significant questions and brings a thoughtful and unsentimental intelligence to them."
New York Times Book Review - George Chauncey (09/07/1997)
"Sometimes Harris sounds like a whiner, crying for the old days....But then his wry, dry humor and trenchant observations win us over....[His is] a spirited journey through gay life that delights and enlightens (and frustrates) along the way."
Dinnage
"In the final analysis, then, this book is a meditation on the commodification of a sensibility and the perils of assimilation."
Stephens
