Late Nights With The Boys

Description

Late Nights With The Boys: Confessions of a Leather Bar Chanteuse, by Alex Bond

A quote from the book sums things up:
"In 1977 when Anna was singing in the gay leather bars of Dallas with her friend Mario, she was invited into a Fairytale Land of Queens and Princesses and Lizards and Twinkies. She entered a Far Away Land where the sex was rough and the décor was flawless, where self-esteem was low and everyone on the dance floor was high. She dove into the Land of Two Identities where everyone had two names and two personas: one for day, one for after-dark. She has been to Never Never Land, and she has shared laughs and tears and Poppers with the lost boys there. She lived there for almost two years, and they were the best years of her life."


This presentation is a reading (with two readers) of selections from Alex Bond's book "LATE NIGHTS WITH THE BOYS: confessions of a leather bar chanteuse".

She decided at the age of seven that she was going to live her life so it would make a good book. Now, thoroughly exhausted, she has started to write it all down. Her essay "Where Nowhere Can Lead You" was recently published in the Hastings Center Report. She is delighted to be in San Francisco and honored to be reading "Late Nights…" again with David. This is for Leon and Mossberry!
