The Spirit Of Detroit - A College-Age sequel to "Drama Queers"

The Spirit of Detroit by Frank Anthony Polito

September 1992. Madonna’s SEX is poised to hit bookstore shelves, The Crying Game makes its cinematic debut in limited release, and George H.W. Bush will soon square off against William Jefferson Clinton in the battle to be elected leader of the Free World. After abandoning his dreams of becoming a famous actor, Bradley Dayton returns to his roots and enrolls as a Theatre major at Wayne State University in Detroit — a town known for its rich cultural history, as well as its gritty urban decay. But a new cast of characters begins to interfere with his education as these friends (and lovers) induct Bradley into their dark world of backstage drama. By semester’s end, he will have spent many a wild and sleepless Motor City night…and found his fair share of thrills along the way.

"The Spirit of Detroit" is the follow up to Frank’s Lambda award-winning Drama Queers, and was published by the author. Add your review of the book in comments!

Drama Queers!

By Frank Anthony Polito

Jack and Brad (from "Band Fags!") are back, but this time it's the story from Brad's point of view.

Brad and Jack are high school seniors and on the outs - because Jack stepped out of Band to step back in the closet, and Brad is out about being gay. Seriously OUT!

Brad has decided that he's going to be a famous actor someday, and he's in the Drama Club.

But he's lost his best friend, and there's this new cute guy that's flirting with him... and suddenly Drama Club isn't the only place where the drama is happening!

Band Fags! - A Gay Teen Book

By Frank Anthony Polito

It's the 1980s. In suburban Detroit, Jack is a straight "A" student. He plays trumpet and, along with his blazingly gay best friend Brad, is labeled a "Band Fag."

But Jack doesn't know what he is.

Through junior high and high school, their friendship evolves, devolves and gets more and more involved as Jack tries to figure out how he, just like Lionel Richie and Diana Ross sing endlessly on the radio, can finally find his very own "Endless Love."
