With his first articles on gay culture published in 1962, Jack Fritscher, the founding San Francisco editor-in-chief of the iconic «Drummer» magazine and the longtime keeper of the «Drummer» Archives, is the award-winning author of twenty books including high-profile eyewitness memoirs of his lover Robert Mapplethorpe, his friend Larry («The Leatherman»s Handbook») Townsend, and his «gentleman caller» Tennessee Williams. Fritscher at eighty-three reaches across sixty years of gay history into his journals, heart, and memory for our lost midcentury world as he did in «Some Dance to Remember: A Memoir-Novel of San Francisco 1970-1982.» His new «Profiles in Gay Courage» is holistic gay history-relevant to the present time-written by a keen eyewitness journalist. The masterful writing in this factual memoir of life with his friends is a treat for readers who wish to enjoy personal stories ticking behind famous names pegged on the gay history timeline.
