Synopsis

At the center of leather life for 50 years, Peter Fiske whips up leather history in his delightfully conversational new memoir of his “been-there/met-everyone” nights around the Stonewall Inn, the Mineshaft, the Catacombs, The 15 Association, drag shows, LSD, Inferno, biker clubs, transgender folk, and BDSM adventures from 1960s New York to Berlin to Paris to London to Folsom Street. A must for leatherfolk. 

About this title

Review

There are few figures amid the arc of leather history who have navigated it for decades and still remain relevant and important to the contemporary scene. Peter Fiske is one of those people. Kind. Smart. Skilled. Generous. Passionate. Those are just some of the qualities that describe Peter. Capturing his life between the covers of a book is a gift to the leather world and a vital documentation of our history.

-- Race Bannon, Writer, Organizer, Activist

Not all legends reside in books about ancient history. Peter Fiske, Leatherman extraordinaire, is one such legend. Traveling through time from the world of Stonewall to the magic of San Francisco, Peter lived and experienced events that LGBT folk whisper to each other about in tones of wonder and occasional disbelief. Peter fought the battles, marched the streets, cracked the whips. I invite you to journey with Peter along the trails, alleyways and his yes, legendary My Leather Life. It's history in the first person and one hell of a ride.
