No One is Looking at You

<h2>What happens when no one is watching-or when you think no one is?</h2><p class=ql-align-justify>In this razor-sharp tenderly comic collection James Magruder charts the evolving landscape of queer identity with heartbreaking honesty and wicked charm. The first half Origin Stories follows a group of closeted young men fumbling toward self-knowledge at Cornell University in the late '70s and early '80s-when disco was dying Reagan was rising and love still had to hide in the shadows.</p><p class=ql-align-justify></p><p class=ql-align-justify>Fast forward forty years to Parting Shots where Roger Hauf a tenured professor of dramatic literature and full-time observer of human folly offers up the hard-won wisdom of a man who's seen it all-and admits he still doesn't have it figured out. Roger knows his students tune him out but maybe you'll listen when he tells you: everyone should chase love across an ocean at least once the right dance belt changes everything and-spoiler alert-high school never really ends.</p><p class=ql-align-justify></p><p class=ql-align-justify>Smart sexy and unafraid to look longing in the eye<strong><em> No One Is Looking at You</em></strong> is a glorious reminder that while we're all just trying to make it through the scene the performance is always personal.</p><p></p>
