David Tuller provides the first look into the emotional and sexual
lives of Russian lesbians and gays and the pervasive influence of
the state on gay life. Part travelogue, part social history, and
part journalistic inquiry, the book challenges our assumptions
about what it means to be gay. The book also explores key issues in
Russia and Soviet life, including concepts of friendship,
community, gender, love, fate, and the relationship between the
public and private spheres.
"Tuller's observant reporting and personal experiences make for
absorbing reading: the human comedy rendered in unexpected
ways."--"New Yorker"
"Anyone who thinks San Francisco is the world capital of sexual
polymorphism should read this book."--Adam Goodheart, "Washington
Post"
"[This book is] is profoundly moving."--Jim Van Buskirk, "San
Francisco Chronicle"
