Lincoln Avenue: Chicago Stories

With its twelve sharply observed stories filled with memorable characters and dialogue imbued with the pop music of the day Gregg Shapiro reflects on what it meant to grow up gay in Chicago during the 1970s and 1980s. Relationships-family boyfriends and otherwise-are explored in stories such as Lunch with a Porn Star Marilyn My Mother Myself and Your Fathers Car. Only a gay Chicago native with a keen eye could give us such an insiders view of the Windy City from a more innocent time not too long ago.
