Book Reviews of Beyond Shame: Reclaiming the Abandoned History of Radical Gay Sexuality
Book Review: a very honest well researched book
Summary: 5 Stars
Moore does an excellent job of highlighting how one-sided much of the discussion has been regarding 70's gay urban culture and while one may not agree with all of his statements, it is a thoroughly interesting and informative piece with great depth and fine writing. Gay artists and performers of the 70's and onward are discussed at great length, which will be of interest to many.
Summary of Beyond Shame: Reclaiming the Abandoned History of Radical Gay Sexuality
"Patrick Moore boldly argues that the promiscuous gay men of the 1970s were actually artists and that AIDS derailed an esthetic community and sexual adventure. This quietly personal book reclaims the past for young gay men and makes it useable."--Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story
"A personal, tender, honest book about a past that can never be regained, but must not be forgotten."
--Sarah Schulman, author of After Delores
"Patrick Moore reminds us of the extravagant creativity of gay self-fashioning in the 1970s, in the hope that such historical awareness can help us bring about an extravagant, creative gay future."
--Carolyn Dinshaw, Director of the Center for Gender & Sexuality, New York University
"Moore's exceptional study considers those men who fashioned an underground gay life that still resonates today."
--Felice Picano, author of Like People In History and a founding member of the Violet Quill Club
