Post-Maupin, these real tales re-create San Francisco Boogie Nights 1970-1982. Michael Bronski famously writes in review: "Some Dance, a mammoth saga of gay life is so bursting with plot, characters, energy, and ideas that it is a great epic: a tale of heroes struggling against not only one another, but fate and history to create a perfect...society.

Post-Maupin, these real tales re-create San Francisco Boogie Nights 1970-1982. Michael Bronski famously writes in review: "Some Dance, a mammoth saga of gay life is so bursting with plot, characters, energy, and ideas that it is a great epic: a tale of heroes struggling against not only one another, but fate and history to create a perfect...society. That the protagonists are leathermen, musclemen, and pornographers battling hate, repression, and AIDS only heightens the novel's literary sweep". Bronski continues: "Writer Ryan and Bodybuilder Kick, the perfect San Francisco couple, embody the eros and errors of fast-lane gay life. Fritscher is as interested in gay history as the histrionics of gay relationships and charts the fabulous couple in the rise and decline of gay culture on Castro and Folsom streets". Bronski concludes: "The heady panorama includes 8 major plots, 15 principal characters, and actual people: Robert Mapplethorpe, Divine, Harvey Milk, Dan White. Fritscher is unflinching and honest". -- The Characters: A dropdead blond bodybuilder. A madcap writer. A video porn mogul. A penthouse full of hustlers. A famous cabaret chanteuse. A Hollywood bitch TV producer. A hilarious dysfunctional straight family. A Vietnam Vet. -- The Plot: An epic liberation movement. A civil war between women and men -- and men. A time of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. A murder. A city. A plague. A lost civilization. A love story.
