Some Men Are Lookers: A Continuation of the "Buddies" Cycle

Ethan Mordden's "Buddies" trilogy--I've a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore, Buddies, Everyone Loves You--has, in less then a decade, gained classic status in gay literature. Now Mordden treats us to a fourth and final volume, Some Men are Lookers. Mordden's tightly-knit band of New York gay men survived disco, Fire Island, and AIDS; now they are left to make their way into the next century by forging new relationships, bonds of friendship, and love. Mordden's writing is as pithy and funny as ever, but he never avoids the hard stories or feelings and all 11 stories resonate with truth, emotion, and a clear-eyed look at what it means to be an urban, gay man today.
