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.
