Stonewall Cousins, Roger and Alistair, become lifelong friends when they meet as boys in 1954. After both discovering their homosexuality, their lives intersect against the backdrop of 20th Century gay culture, from the beachboy surfer days of the 1960's, to the Greenwich Village AIDS activism in the 1990's.

Reseñas editoriales

Narrator Ethan Sawyer's heartfelt performance complements the dramatic events of 20th-century gay history as experienced by Roger Sansarc and his cousin Alistair Dodge. Like People in History opens with AIDS-stricken Alistair's birthday celebration, and Sawyer immediately holds listeners' attention with his nervy tone as Roger brings pills to help Alistair end his suffering. The story moves back and forth from the cousins' first encounters as fourth graders and their subsequent experiences to the present day, detailing Alistair's fate amidst the fallout from the AIDS crisis. Sawyer voices Roger as a wry and self-aware narrator whose conservatism is tempered by his complicated empathy for his theatrical cousin.

I have loved this book since reading it the first time 20 years ago. I go back every couple of years to re-visit the characters. The audio version is wonderful also.

A love affair that began years ago.

Being a gay man who is about 7 years younger than Roger, (the lead character) I lived through the period of burying friends, lovers and relatives in the 80s and 90s. I do not normally enjoy stories of that period as it brings back too many very painful memories. However, this book handled telling a story for the period very well expressing the joy and pain of the era.

Very well done.

Excellent Story dealing with a very difficult time

Loved the characters. As someone who has lived the AIDS crisis I recognized lots of this story . Fast funny and 100% accurate dialogue

The depth and breadth of the narrative

Whatever else this book is, it's at the least an accounting of the odd but intimate lifelong friendship between two gay men from adolescence in the 50's until Alistair's untimely demise in the 90's. Picano uses historical facts and pop culture along the way to bring the story forward in a very entertaining fashion, especially using their time on Fire Island to highlight the 70's. One might easily suggest that he uses the two men and their many friends and acquaintances to illustrate gay history through five decades. That's fine, but in the end, for me, it was indeed all about Roger and Alistair. By the way, the narration was superb and spot on.

It's All About Roger And Alistair
