Swish : my quest to become the gayest person ever / Joel Derfner

Joel Derfner

In Swish, Derfner takes his readers on a flamboyant adventure along the glitter-strewn road from fabulous to divine. Whether he?s confronting the demons of his past at a GLBT summer camp, using the Internet to "meet" men - many, many men - or plunging headfirst (and nearly naked) into the shady world of go-go dancing, he reveals himself with every gayer-than-thou flourish to be not just a stylish explorer but also a fearless one. So fearless, in fact, that when he sneaks into a conference for people who want to cure themselves of their homosexuality, he turns the experience into one of the most fascinating, deeply moving chapters of the book. Derfner, like King Arthur, Christopher Columbus, and Indiana Jones - but with a better haircut and a much deeper commitment to fad diets - is a hero destined for legend.
