“Now of all the bonds between homosexual friends, none was greater than that between friends who danced together. The friend you danced with, when you had no lover, was the most important person in your life; and for people who went without lovers for years, that was all they had.” - Andrew Holleran, "Dancer From The Dance"

A must-read for any gay man, "Dancer From The Dance" is a riveting and heartbreaking look at the unending quest for love in a community that at times seems more focused on sex and drugs. Through understanding what makes life worth living, Holleran's characters embrace the beauty and unspoken pain of the homosexual experience. While some of the writing and mentalities about the LGBTQ community are a bit dated, the question remains: when love is your only end game, are you able to enjoy the journey, even if you never get there?
