"What unites us, all of us, surely is brotherhood, a sense that our
friendships are historic, designed to hold Stonewall together,"
muses on character in Ethan Mordden's "Buddies. "This need for
friendship, for nonerotic affection, for buddies, shines forth as
an American obsession from "Moby-Dick "through "Of Mice and Men "to
"The Sting. "And American gay life has built upon and cherished
these relationships, even as it has dared-perhaps its most
startling iconoclasm-to break new ground by combining romance and
friendship: one's lover is one's buddy.
This book is about those relationships-mostly gay but some straight
and even a few between gays and straights. Here also are fathers
and brothers and stories of men in their youth, when rivalry often
develops more naturally than alliance. In "Buddies "Mordden
continues to map the unstoried wilderness of gay life today.
