REVIEW COMMENTS
"If one can learn American history via the novels of Gore Vidal, one can learn gay American history via Some Dance to Remember.
--THE ADVOCATE, July 1990, David Perry
"As a document of our times and our lives, Some Dance to Remember has no peer."
--LAMBDA RISING, April/May 1990, Jack Garman
"The best gay novel since Dancer From the Dance. The Castro's Gone With the Wind."
--OUTWeek March, 1990, Christhoper Davis
"Jack Fritscher is acknowledged as a writer who does for gay writing what Robert Mapplethorpe did for gay photography...a knockout!"
--WE THE PEOPLE, July 1990, Tom Phillips
"My God, what a book! It's all there, done with Fritscher's usual élan and verve. I wouldn't be surprised if he has written what will be looked on as that period's Great American Gay Novel. What lovely stuff!"
--Sam Steward (Phil Andros)
"Jack Fritscher didn't invent the Castro. He just made it mythical. Heady, erotic, comic...the first comprehensive fictional chronicle of the best of times."
--THE ADVOCATE, July 1990
