I've a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore: The Buddies Cycle

"We have traded tales, my buddies and I; of affairs, encounters, secrets, fears, self-promotion - of fantasies that we make real in the telling." In this, the first volume in Ethan Mordden's acclaimed trilogy on Manhatten gay life, he introduces a small group of friends - Dennis Savage, Little Kiwi, Carlos, and the narrator, Bud - and chronicles their exploration of the new world of gay life and the new people they are in the process of becoming.
