"Trevor Oliver Taddich III didn’t really think he was ever “in”. But that doesn’t stop him from a sensational coming “out” story! Trevor finally creates an Eccentric San Francisco place for himself in this continuation of a coming-of-age memoir. He’s quite comfortable & content in his rarified world until the rumblings of wanting “more” start to grow. He’s never been one to hide who he is, but that’s not exactly the same as coming out Gay in the 1970s. Trevor’s initiation into “more” is embellished & punctuated by a mysterious Abstract Expressionist painter, a psychoanalyst, magnificent Venetian Crystal chandeliers, impressive dicks, a blue Royal portable typewriter, and a kitten named Oscar...not to mention an alter ego also known as Phillip Reed. Can Trevor & Phillip summon the courage to be their authentic selves? The stakes of this coming out feel so high! Will they be? Just exactly what sort of chain reactions will being honest with his prominent family & being honest with himself set off in Trevor’s young life? Through this masterfully told story painting a tapestry of the coming out lifestyle in those last whimsical, playful, and wonderful months before AIDS hit, breathe in the whimsy, intrigue, and the angst of a Gay Civilization that once sprang up out of San Francisco Barbary Coast & Gold Rush soil"--
