Kate, an artist and a married woman who loves her husband, discovers the pleasures of cross-dressing and a lesbian affair. Peter confronts a world that is beginning to look disconcertingly gay -- both at home, where Kate is behaving oddly, and on the streets of Manhattan. Molly, who works as a ticket taker in a sleazy revival house, juggles her lovers, watches her friends die of AIDS and tries to keep her heart in one piece. All of their lives are altered by the appearance of Justice, an underground organization of gay guerrilla activists determined to save their own lives. This Book is a Triumphant political fantasy and a passionate investigation of how we can fail each other when our inability to take action gets the better of our ihumanity; it is the story of an unusual love triangle and what happens to love and anger when they are transformed by activism.
