My first conclusion from this book is that Lou was a very horny gent, and my second is that this is one of my favorite books of the year and should be a seminal book of queer literature. Lou has an lively, amusing voice and makes many quotidian scenarios little odysseys. Most of the book flows like enthusiastic water, winding and enjoyable. Still, there are moments of sobering honesty. Moments where Lou's confidence and swagger wain mean all the more in a story of a man who had such a clear idea of who he was. I can't quite state how important of a book this is. It is a moment in time, a righting of wrongs, an illumination of the brushed-under-rug. It is a life.
