Slashed to Ribbons in Defense of Love and Other Stories

The collection captures a vibrant snapshot of gay life from 1975 to 1982, reflecting a time before the AIDS crisis in iconic locales like New York and Fire Island. Notable stories include "Spinning," which immerses readers in the mind of a DJ navigating the disco scene, and "The Interrupted Recital," where tensions in the classical music world lead to dramatic consequences. This anthology serves as a nostalgic exploration of the era's unique subcultures and social dynamics.
