He tells the truth, and tells it with such passion that we are forced to share in the life he conveys. . . . This is a most humbling and liberating achievement.\"--James Baldwin\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen John Rechy's explosive first novel appeared in 1963, it marked a radical departure in fiction, and gave voice to a subculture that had never before been revealed with such acuity. It earned comparisons to Genet and Kerouac, even as Rechy was personally attacked by scandalized reviewers. Nevertheless, the book became an international bestseller, and fifty years later, it has become a classic. Bold and inventive in style, Rechy is unflinching in his portrayal of one hustling \"youngman\" and his search for self-knowledge within the neon-lit world of hustlers, drag queens, and the denizens of their world, as he moves from El Paso to Times Square, from Pershing Square to the French Quarter. Now including never-seen original marked galley pages and an interview with the author, Rechy's portrait of the edges of America has lost none of its power to move and exhilarate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Rechy is the author of twelve novels, among them the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eNumbers\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eRushes\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Coming of the Night\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Miraculous Day of Amalia Gómez\u003c\/i\u003e and the nonfiction books \u003ci\u003eThe Sexual Outlaw\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAbout My Life and the Kept Woman\u003c\/i\u003e (all from Grove Press).
