Publisher's Note
This finely wrought gay/lesbian novel of family relationships is filled with laughter & compassion, longing & sorrow, courage & endurance--affirming life & the hope that the best of the human spirit will prevail. Award-winning poet Whitney Scott's first novel, "Dancing to the End of the Shining Bar" explores the complex relationships of a conservative Midwestern family in its struggle to cope with life shattering illness in the mid 1980s--when AIDS was a furtive whisper surrounded with secrecy. Told from the viewpoint of Lucy, whose mother has wed Rick's father in a marriage of convenience, the story focuses on the step-siblings who support each other throughout their lives. Much of this refreshingly forthright & often humorous novel centers on their adult years, when as gay & lesbian "brother & sister in every way that really matters," these best friends help each other find themselves. Scott's smooth, elegant style & subtle flashblacks give readers a compassionate view of love's many facets as Lucy & Rick face disapproving parents & society, failed affairs, broken hearts & ultimately AIDS, all the while trying to live authentic lives. This compelling novel is an important addition to AIDS literature.
