Reviews:

"It is not enough to say that Boyd McDonald takes you directly to the edges of your wits. What makes him our greatest national resource is his sometimes ferocious, always erotic, commitment to the truth. And nothing but the truth will make us free." Tom Steele, Editor, Christopher Street

". . . brilliand . . . analytical . . . amusing . . . lacerating . . . " The late Arthur Bell, The Village Voice

"Boyd McDonald is one of the nation's least appreciated and most astute film critics. Known for his keen powers of observation (particularly when it comes to sizing up the anatomy of the stars), McDonald enlivens the pages of Christopher Street, the gay journal of arts and letters." David Talbot, Mother Jones

Quote from this book

"The David Nelson story is largely unprintable, not because of anything David has done but because of what men would like to do with him. Fortunately, there is no need to tell the story in words; it is pretty much contained in stills and glossies of David. Stills from The Big Circus (1959), in which he wore white trapeze tights, are especially articulate; I don't think I have to list the various parts of that body that men would like to 'eat', as I believe they call it."
