Product Description
Ron Naples' debut novel, is a gay, erotic, fictionalized memoir, based on his coming out experiences in the '70s. It is a vivid translation of a time when closet doors were nailed shut, but more than a vicissitude, it is also a peek back at the Disco Era. Raised an Italian Catholic, Ron breaks free from his disciplinary family life when he is introduced to his first gay bar. There, he meets Auntie Brie, an extraordinary drag queen who shapes his destiny. Revisit the politically charged 1979 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, join in the debauchery of NYC's acclaimed Studio 54, and escape to the Cape, for a summer gone wild with one of Ptown’s most beloved houseboys. My Last Dance with Auntie Brie defines an entire gay generation who succumbed to the hedonistic lifestyle of that time which has now become legendary. www.mylastdancewithauntiebrie.net
Customer Reviews
I loved this book from beginning to end! Well told, and so relatable for me. As an avid reader, I often race through a book, but this one was different. It’s a story that I wanted to take my time with. Among other things, it’s a great coming out, coming of age story. As I read it, I was flooded with memories from my own life. I felt like I knew the characters, and the places. I think the wonderful doses of music woven throughout was a perfect soundtrack to a time I lived through. I revisited a place that I didn’t want to leave. I met characters that I didn’t want to say goodbye to. I didn’t want the story to end. I’m anxiously awaiting the sequel!
