Pretty Boys All in a Row

Summer 1981 and hedonism rules on the sun-baked island of Ibiza. The streets and bars are overflowing and on the beaches there?s a seemingly endless parade of beautiful bronzed adonises. Philip, though, is pasty and pale and plain to boot. Why on earth, he wonders, has he come to this gay paradise when he can barely pluck up the courage even to uncover his body?

Then Philip meets Terry and everything changes. Terry is sixty-something, with a shocking predilection for orange shell suits and plastic flip-flops, but also a bottomless purse and a generous heart. Under Terry?s tutelage, Philip begins to discover a whole new self and his transformation from ugly duckling to gorgeous butterfly begins. But Terry, too, has his own demons to face?

In this charming, witty and entertaining novel, Andrew Kay evokes a long-gone and surprisingly innocent world of casual encounters and guilt-free sex, but in the background is a darker theme ? the difficulties of ageing, especially in a gay culture obsessed with youth and sexual conquest.

Author: Daniel Brookbank (daniel.brookbank@btinternet.com)
I was given this book by a friend for my birthday. It was wonderful to be taken back to a time when I was in my prime as a gay man, both emotionally and sexually. I loved the references to the music, especially the 12 inch version of Cruisin the streets! what a memory!. wonderfully written, amusing and witty. Thanks Andrew, please write us another one, how about Brighton in the 1980's, the Beacon Royal, Hove seafront at 3am, crusing in yours and my X19!
