Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Rather than "rise and fall" I would describe the contents of this book to be aspects of gay culture in the twentieth century. The author succeeds in providing a brief but interesting overview of certain areas such as Camp, Romance, the Body, Gay subculture, clothing, and the impact of Aids. Overall a fascinating introduction for gay and non-gay readers. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In this provocative, brilliantly reasoned book, charged throughout with a penetrating eye and stinging wit, Harris examines the many shadings of the gay experience as they have evolved over time. Includes the demise of camp and kink, the evolution of personal ads, the origins of the underwear revolution, the changing face of porn, the morph of leathermen and drag queens, and the marketing of AIDS as a commodity.
