Publishing Triangle Awards Coming Your Way!

dasncerH2.jpg
Bent book worms may want to cancel their plans for May 7th. The Publishing Triangle has chosen that night to host their 19th annual self-titled awards show. Not only will the foundation be granting a slew of gay-named honors, (the Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction, the Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian Poetry and Randy Shilts Award), but they'll honor Andrew Holleran with a lifetime achievement award.

Holleran, has penned four novels, a collection of short stories and a series of essay. The American University professor garnered - and deserved - endless praise for his classic pre-AIDS gay tale, Dancer from the Dance. The 1978 beauty opens thus:

Now my father used to say, and I agree: There is nothing so unhappy as going through the clothes of a friend who has died, to see what may be used and what should be given to charity.
