Franny, The Queen Of Provincetown (Paperback, New edition)

In "Franny, The Queen of Provincetown, " John Preston created one of his most memorable characters from the more than 30 books he authored or edited over his storied career. Franny is a proud, protective friend to the gay men of Provincetown, Massachusetts, as they fight their battles against self-hatred and ostracism. Haunted by the loss of his first love, Franny vows never to let fear and anger consume those who are treated differently for who they are. It's Franny's goal to ensure that there is a place in the world for everyone who feels they do not belong. First published to wide acclaim in 1983, "Franny" was a book of gay heroism and camaraderie in the shadow of the burgeoning AIDS crisis. Today, one can read "Franny" with a sense of nostalgia and with the knowledge that Franny's dreams of a society that accepts gays and lesbians without question is closer to fruition, but far from complete.

This edition features an appendix of supplementary materials about "Franny" and the author, as well as an introduction by Michael Lowenthal, the novelist and anthologist and author of two books, including the Lambda Award-nominated "Avoidance."
