Blurbs:
"Edward Field's memoir vividly recounts the story of New York bohemian life since the fifties, a world that is now gone. With its tell-all bluntness and
gossipy intimacy, it brings to life—as no other work that I know—the spirit of gay bohemia."—David Bergman

"Such fine writing, such style, and also, an eye and ear for what we want to see and hear. Edward Field fills in a big gap and offers some deeper ideas about what created some of the great writers and artists of our time. After reading a chapter, I feel like I've just had a martini with Edward Field."—Brian Bouldrey, author of The Boom Economy

Reviews: [Reviews will be posted here when they are available.]
