Description
**From Amazon.com:** ***The Buddies Cycle #2*** "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.
