The cult gay classic set in 1970s, decadent New York that gave a voice to a generation. Now back in print to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
Andrew Holleran was born in Aruba in 1943. After attending Harvard and dropping out of law school he moved to New York City where, after ten years, he wrote his first novel Dancer from the Dance in 1978. Holleran is the author of three other novels, Nights in Aruba, The Beauty of Men and Grief, and one collection of short stories, In September, the Light Changes. He currently lives in Washington, D.C.
Dance from the Dance accomplished for the 1970’s what The Great
Gatsby achieved for the 1920’s — the glamorization of a decade and
a culture
*Edmund White*
A life changing read for me. Describes a New York that has
completely disappeared and for which I longed - stuck in
closed-on-Sunday's London
*Rupert Everett*
An astonishingly beautiful book. The best gay novel written by
anyone of our generation
*Harper's*
The first gay novel everybody read... It’s the story of youth and
beauty and money and drugs. But overarchingly, it’s the story of a
new queer future
*New York Times Magazine*
Beautiful, hilarious, heart-breaking and tender
*Andrew McMillan*
