iancann 's review for:
Dancer from the Dance
by Andrew Holleran
What a beautiful book - *hastily repairs shattered heart* The prose is the most beautiful moving evocative poetry and at times touches Alan Hollinghurst and Evelyn Waugh in its exquisitetitude.
Reading it now and I suppose to an extent in the late '70s, it is very much a love letter to that lost world of gay New York between Stonewall and AIDS. Malone and Sutherland especially are wonderful characters and you do wish you could dance with them. The narration is very cleverly done as well in terms of viewpoints and the ending and well everything, go read this if you can track it down.
