Prose is blunt, hard-edged. Harsh in places, deeply emotional in others.
It is from 1970, and it shows. Terminology is dated. This is not a negative for me--it's authentic, and history, especially queer history, shouldn't always be made palatable for modern audiences.
I am looking forward to reading the next book ASAP.
