The fact that it relies on heavy doses of morbidity and ab- surdity does nothing for the spirit of the work, and, in fact, tends to nullify the in- tended purpose. Ryan O'Hara, the supposed hero of our story, is a Midwestern gay, lured by the bright lights and easy sex of the Sod om of the 20th Century, San Francisco. He is, in a nutshell, a simpering wimp, content to tolerate abuse from his thank- less family and searching, despite his history, for the one person that can abuse him more than his family ever could. And thankfully, for him, he finds that person, a musclebound egomaniac by the name of Kick who does just that-and often. There is the great love of all time.

The man has community spirit; you see. Since he was in the first grade, Tony has lived in the rugged, hilly Oak Lawn district on the opposite bank of Dallas' wide Trinity River floodplain. His many interests include photography, the arts, working out and dancing. He originated the male-exotic-fan-dance, and can still stir up a steamy breeze when the occasion demands. He is a frequent sight along Cedar Springs ... So, the next time you see Tony, give him a wave and maybe a thumbs-up sign. It's the neighborly thing to do.
