1980s, Manhattan: 25-year-old Philip Benjamin realises he must come out to his parents after falling in love for the first time with a man. But Philip’s parents are facing their own problems. His father is struggling with his suppressed homosexuality, realised only in Sunday afternoon visits to gay porn theatres, and Philip’s revelation leads his father to a point of crisis. This is a welcome reissue of Leavitt’s first novel, which marked him out as a stunning new talent in the early days of the gay writing boom of the 80's.
