Sobre IBD

'Tell the truth till it hurts.' - Daniel Curzon 'This lucid and chatty book is perceptive, wry, and penetrating to the last drop of bile.' - Robert Patrick 'Angry, bitter, with chips on both shoulders, Daniel Curzon is also ferociously honest and very funny.' - Ian Young 'He has been everywhere, he has met everyone, and now that he has your attention, he is going to let you know exactly what he has been thinking about them all these years. The result is a blunt, hilarious, page-turning ride that is, to use the cliché, impossible to put down.' - Philip Clark DROPPING NAMES - The Delicious Memoirs of Daniel Curzon, chronicles the author's encounters with dozens and dozens of gay and/or gay-hating figures in American literature and theatre from the early nineteen sixties very nearly to the present. The bulk of the many short pieces was written in 1986, and is followed by copious updates on most of the people named.
