![]() ![]() This month, Grove/Atlantic is bringing out a special 50th Anniversary edition of the classic story of a sensitive male prostitute hustling his way from city to city, intermingling with a series of bruised and confused misfits and outcasts, trying to find acceptance in a society that refused to accept him. ![]() ![]() City of Nightwas the first time a book perfectly expressed my most secret feelings without telling my own personal story. I discovered an important mentor in John Rechy. Rechy’s novel touched something in me and unleashed it. When I first came across John Rechy’s novel City of Night as a teenager, I knew I had found one of my first great teachers. These are the artists who came before you, who talk to you through their works, so that literature becomes an ongoing dialogue from generation to generation. I believe that when you are a creative person you intuitively find your people-your influences, your teachers. ![]()
