Description

Step back into New York City during the decade before the AIDS plague. The Golden Boy offers a rare look at a specific era of urban history through the eyes of James Melson. This memoir captures a time when thousands of gay men lived a free-wheeling lifestyle defined by club hopping, upward mobility, and sex without fear. As the first autobiography published by The Haworth Press and Harrington Park Press, this book provides a unique historical perspective. Melson was a member of an exclusive social clique in the Big Apple, known for having the envied male model look. At just 19 years old, he was already working as a model, possessing the tall, blond, and muscular appearance that defined this group. This book serves as a significant piece of social history for readers interested in LGBTQ+ studies and the sociology of New York City. It documents a transformative period of social freedom and the specific subcultures that existed within the city before the landscape changed forever.
