GAY By Steve Dow $17.95 GAY traverses the terrain of contemporary gay and lesbian life, speaking lyrically about outing,

Writes Christos Tsiolkas (author of Loaded and The Jesus Man) in the foreword: "The book in your hand is a very fine piece of journalist's writing. That's something we don't have enough of in this country ... It's the changes, the continuities, the breaks and the persistent discord that Gay examines and documents, and always in Dow's honest, humane advice."
