Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. REBOW, Milton [181] pp. Key Publishing Co. 1957 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" The story concerns a gay man who is going to commit suicide but first he must decide how to do it and what to wear and remember the trials that led him to this point of deepest despair. The whole boo…k is the lead character Andy sitting in a chair over the course of a day and remembering his life. It was exciting, the suicide pulls you right in at the start and the life, Andy moves to Montreal and becomes a personal secretary and lives in a mansion on Mont Royal in the early 1950's. Gradually things go wrong but they all seem to later go right again, a bit of a Forest Gump kind of tale with less presidents. There is some homophobia in the book, Andy doesn't walk, he minces, he spends days wondering if he could be a man, straight men vomit after being in his presence, and more, but I can over look it for the camp, the time period, the story. Sitting in Manhattan, running out to the Automat for dinner after work designing shop windows, it was wonderfully dated.
