{"product_id":"9781615084548","title":"Times Square Queer: Tales of Bad Boys in the Big Apple","description":"\"Mick Dementiuk writes stories of the day when Times Square was all about sex, drugs, and cold spit ... about coming of age inside the just-burgeoning hardcore movie houses of the 1960s. It's... vivid. Harsh, real, and yes, erotic.\" -Susie Bright. Here is a landmark book - the first print publication of seventeen stories by Mykola Dementiuk, one of the most distinctive voices in queer literature. Sixteen were published individually on the web as short ebooks; \"Missy the Sissy\" has never appeared anywhere before. Included are: \"On the Prowl,\" \"Times Square Cutie,\" \"Eighteen Today.\" \"Trio At the Movies,\" \"Love for Sale\" and a dozen others. Times Square Queers also features a moving and penetrating personal introduction about growing up queer in the 1960s, amid the sleazy porn theaters and bars crowding Times Square that had become a gay mecca. \"Mykola's stories of ... the delights and depressions of young men living difficult lives in imperfect times... do a magnificent job of drawing us into the character's heads.\" Bibrary Bookslut. Mykola's New York is \"...very gritty, with a cosmopolitan impersonality about it; impersonal relationships, impersonal sex, and the-devil-take-the-hindmost ethos. [His work is] eagerly recommended.\" -Gerry B's Book Reviews.","brand":"Renaissance eBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036686369008,"sku":"9781615084548","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781615084548_p0.jpg?v=1763850394","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781615084548","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
