"Picking up where he left off at the end of his widely praised debut memoir, One of These Things First, Gaines recounts his hilarious, sometimes poignant attempt to forge a writing career and a successful love life in the gay world of the 1970s. He has limited success until he falls in love with an older woman dying of cancer. Meanwhile, he serendipitously begins a career as a writer when he meets a former child evangelist, and with naèive chutzpah, manages a to land a book deal that leads to a whirlwind career as a biographer, rock and roll columnist, and roman áa clef novelist who writes a book with a Studio 54 bartender that brings the world down around them."--
