Synopsis

Leigh W. Rutledge, author of the best-selling The New Gay Book of Lists and Nice Girls Don't Wear Cha-Cha Heels, has been back digging through his files with friend and co-author Gregory Hancock. The result is The 300 Funniest Things Ever Said About Gay People,> an entertaining and frequently hilarious collection of quotes by or about gay people. Hundreds of familiar figures--past and present, gay-friendly and homophobic--are represented here, including all the classic purveyors of outrageous wit and wisdom, such as Tallulah Bankhead, Charles Pierce, Bruce Vilanch, Quentin Crisp, Harvey Fierstein, and Oscar Wilde as well as more obscure humorists, raconteurs, and wisecrackers offering priceless gems plucked from interviews, television, books, and movies. With a "cast" that includes everyone from Truman Capote to Robin Tyler, from Liberace to Fran Lebowitz, this is perhaps the only book this year in which you'll find Craig Russell's immortal "Canada is so square even the female impersonators are women" side by side with Dorothy Parker's deliciously funny "Prick an actor, and you'll find an actress." The 300 Funniest Things Ever Said About Gay People is a book you'll want to come back to and enjoy again and again.
