There is only one FIRE ISLAND!
Only ALEXANDER GOODMAN could possibly do it justice!
Now, in a full-length book containing 20 pages of photographs of faggots, drag queens, Fire Island scenes and pretty boys, Alexander Goodman has written the definitive story of Fire Island and the "happenings" that have given it an international reputation.
Just a few bits of conversation:
"...middle of entertaining a most attractive young sailor..." "...Miss P has slept with the boy..." "Yes, Mary, I brought your geisha costume..." "...Looks like a hustler to me. Young ,a lot of muscles..." "...It's time he learned the facts of gay life..." "...There's going to be a gang-bang at 'The Kitty House'..." "...A ray of moonlight is hitting his face, which is contorted with pleasure..." "Please, you're hurting me..." "...There was that one night when he let 15 guys..." "...After that night with Vance I stopped dating any girl that wouldn't deliver..." "...They were sitting on this kid that was lying face down in the middle of the floor... I could hear him..." "...You can pick beautiful boys off the trees..." "Yes, there's always the meat rack..." "...You're the most handsome faggot I know..." "No! I'm giving up all this cruising, camping, carrying on..." "...One boy with smooth pale skin... A sweet dainty blond in a girl's bathing suit..." "I haven't done this with men... I'm not used to it..." "...Are you going to leave with me at 6 o'clock or not?" "...They both pull their trunks down to their knees..." "The afternoon is young. Many desire more experiences." "This wood can be a heartless place..." "The darkness protects them, gives them a freedom they never had before." "Romance requires love, not sex... Romance does not fit in with wholesale promiscuity..."
The book is a combination of factual reporting and fictional representation of life as it is REALLY lived among this group.
