A whirlwind tour of San Franciscos fabled queer bohemia in the waning days of the 20th century, as the citys budget bon vivants work to save their eccentric lifestyles in the face of tech gentrification by LAMBDA award finalist Alvin Orloff.Harris, San Franciscos most annoying gay barfly, doesnt mean to be bitchy, passive aggressive, or insulting. But hes so bedazzled by his own critical brilliance he feels morally obliged to share his scathing opinions with the world at any and every opportunity. This irritates no one more than his roommate, Maxine, an avantgarde transsexual cabaret singer. When she overhears him badmouthing her on the phone she flies into a rage and expels him from their apartment. This crisis couldnt come at a worse time. The year is 1999 and the dot com boom has rendered cheap housing nonexistent, and Harris, who works as a parttime telemarketer, isas usuallow on funds. Will he be able to convince one of his eccentric, semidysfunctional friends with a rentcontrolled apartment to let him move in?Vulgarian Rhapsody immerses readers in a fading bohemia of queer dive bars, drag clubs, and countercultural cafes. The books narrator (a longtime frenemy of Harris whos every bit as snarky and annoying as he is) tells the story with sadistic relish and an ironists eye for the absurd. Anyone feeling sickly from too many uplifting stories of personal empowerment, precious comingofage tales, or sugarcoated romances will find the perfect antidote in this...
