"For a generation, Ethan Mordden's tales about a tightly knit circle of friends who live within the shifting confines of gay Manhattan have reflected, defined, and explicated modern gay life to tens of thousands of readers and devoted fans. Now, once again, Mordden returns to his best-loved characters in this new volume in the cycle. With the ultimate hunk Carlo, the best friend Dennis Savage, J. (who was once Little Kiwi), Cosgrove the maturing elf-child, and narrator and ultimate observer Bud - along with such new friends as a circle of ruthlessly enchanting Chelsea Boys and a pair of bisexual rufftuffs - Mordden explores the ever evolving landscape of gay Manhattan." "How's Your Romance? brings the series and the characters full circle, from the early days just post-Stonewall to the vicissitudes, delights, and challenges of the early twenty-first century. Blending the comic, the sexy, the tragic, and the at once realistic and idealistic, these stories are Ethan Mordden at his very best."--BOOK JACKET.
