Via JMG: First & Last Lines From Noted Gay Novels
Boy Culture blogger Matt Rettenmund has compiled the first and last sentences from nearly 100 well-known gay novels. Andrew Holleran's Dancer From The Dance,
for example, opens and closes this way: First: "Ecstasy, it's finally
spring down here on the Chattahoochee—the azaleas are in bloom, and
everyone is dying of cancer. Last: “Go out dancing tonight, my dear, and
go home with someone, and if the love doesn't last beyond the morning,
then know I love you." Of all the novels cited, Larry Kramer's opening
line in Faggots is the one I remember best: "There are 2,556,596 faggots in the New York City area." Hit the link for an enjoyable time-waster.
