Lovers: The Story Of Two Men: Anatomy Of A Love Affair
Michael Denneny’s vintage 1979 paperback Lovers: The Story Of Two Men offers an intimate, first-hand account of a gay relationship in pre-Stonewall America. Told with candor and tenderness, the narrative blends memoir and cultural history, giving readers an unfiltered look at same-sex love when it was still cloaked in secrecy.
Black-and-white photographs scattered through the 159 pages add faces to the names, anchoring the couple’s private moments in vivid period detail. Avon’s original edition captures the grit and glamour of urban queer life, making the book a collectible snapshot of gay Americana.
The book shows external age—a scuffed cover and light foxing on the page block—but inside the pages are crisp, unmarked, and firmly bound, ready for reading or display. A tight spine means no loose leaves, and the absence of writing or dog-ears keeps the text clean.
Ideal for readers interested in LGBTQ biography, cultural studies, or 1970s queer literature, this affordable copy delivers both story and artifact without the collector premium. Add this quietly groundbreaking title to your shelf and witness a love affair that still resonates today.
