What Readers are Saying |
|
...must
be read especially by those of us who lived through and experienced some of
it and by the younger generations who must get a sense of our history and who
we are. |
....I found myself anxiously turning the
pages, to see the resolution of David's political battles. ....We are
introduced to a variety of colorful political associates, friends and
enemies, intrigue, backstabbing and political infighting which keep the action
moving. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! – Larry Parlett 1970’s LGBT activist |
|
....I cannot recommend this
highly enough and I must say that even with its tremendous length, I did not
want it to end. |
...conveys the pain and loneliness he experienced as an activist
excellently! – Toby Wolf (Schneiter) 1970’s LGBT activist |
|
....I loved it!
- Wayne Sunday 1970's LGBT activist |
The Quest for Brian
One young man's struggle for gay liberation in the 1970s takes him
down a path from which there seems to be no escape. As the reader watches Dave
Rosen, from Champaign-Urbana to Chicago, Illinois, falling farther away from
the man he loves, descend into a pit of rage, drug addiction and then victory,
they will be witnesses to actual historical events, heretofore unprinted, that
will astound.
Chicago
Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame member Jeff Graubart releases his autobiographical,
historical novel, The Quest for Brian.
Five years in the making, this tell-all political thriller is sure to shock,
rivet and raise deep questions, no matter what your philosophy of life.
Fact and fiction combine to tell a powerful
story of an era lost to today’s youth. See what it took to win. In the current
struggle for LGBT rights, this book is a must read for those who do not wish to
repeat the mistakes of the past. See Blog for more details and discounts.
