Review:

"As a document of our times and our lives, Some Dance to Remember has no peer" - LAMBDA Book Report "Heady, erotic, comic, and often boggling for the sheer weight of information it contains, Fritscher's novel is the first comprehensive fictional chronicle of the best of times bleeding into the worst." - The Advocate"
