Greenwich Connection

From the trauma of the Second World War and the burden of post-war mid-century's demand for a closeted life so sensitively depicted in the opening novella, through the subsequent short stories' portrayals of LGBTQ life in the twentieth century and early twenty-first, Richard Natale's "Greenwich Connection" brings us into the loving, terrifying, tender, frustrating, and triumphant history of Queer modern America. The interconnected personal lives of generations of LGBTQ denizens of New York's Greenwich Village resonate with us still. Through Natale's forceful prose, their fears are still our fears, their search for love is still our search. Natale's beautifully drawn fictional characters bring us into an intimate experience of our very real history.
