Condition: Very Good Bottom edge and corner discoloured, otherwise as new Content: "With searing self-appraisal and a keen sense of the world around him, acclaimed writer and gay activist Martin Duberman examines a wide range of issues in his personal and professional life and in the politics of the time from 1971 to 1981 - from the early years of gay liberation to the first public reports of AIDS. "Duberman moves from the internecine battles in the academic world and within the budding gay rights movement to his own heart attack, sexual and romantic adventures and search for fulfillment through unconventional means. Peppered with gossip, wit and tart observations of the New York theater and literary worlds, Midlife Queer stands as both a fascinating memoire and the record of an era." (from the cover) Background / Biography: Wikipedia biography Reviews: "This book has lived up to all my expectations. I hope he writes a sequel." Edmund White, Village Voice "A model life . . . In an age of false heroes, this autobiography of an authentic (though complicated and imperfect) hero refreshes and inspires."

Quote from this book "I was one of the founding members in 1973 of the Gay Academic Union, a group that undertook as its tripartite mission protecting the rights of openly lesbian and gay students and faculty on campuses, pinpointing needed areas of research on homosexuality, and originating pilot courses in gay and lesbian studies. We worked for months putting together a two-day inaugural conference, 'The Universities and the Gay Experience' for November of that year, sometimes consumed with volatile arguments over feminist values or the nature of bisexuality, sometimes frantically trying to stitch together the mundane pieces from workshop titles to registration forms, that go into creating a conference of any kind." opening paragraph Chapter Three, reference omitted Secondhand booksellers |
