Took a break today from editing to have brunch in the West Village with the always wonderful William Sterling Walker. Afterward, we walked to Three Lives & Co. What a joy to discover the bookstore crowded and what a bigger surprise to discover many Chelsea Station Edition titles on the bookshelves for sale, including Parade by Michael Graves, Love, Christopher Street, edited by Thomas Keith, True Religion by (J.L.) Joel Weinberg and my newest novel, Based on a True Story.

..a masterful essayist... a remarkable collection

Novelist Currier (A Gathering Storm, 2014, etc.) collects four decades of essays in this nonfiction volume.

27/10/2015

Well, this is a short note to remind my fellow authors that sometimes your original idea may be your best and if your gut tells you to stick with it, do so. I workshopped my novel Based on a True Story several times over several years, expanding and contracting and rewriting it based on comments and critiques from the workshops, but quite honestly I always distrusted the suggestions and was never comfortable with my expansion and always preferred the original draft best, which is what I decided to publish. It is a story that takes place on Thanksgiving Day when two gay couples meet and each man’s connection with a past crime is unveiled. The intent was never to make the remembrance go beyond what could be recounted in one day so I always imagined this to be a short novel. (It’s perhaps the closest I’ve come to actually writing a play.) In the book’s first review, Kirkus Reviews noted “Currier’s slim, satisfying novel isn’t overwritten or mired in exposition. Instead, it gets to the heart of the quartet’s issues quickly, creating a swift, dramatic read with plenty of poignancy regarding the plight of gay men in the age of AIDS. Fans of interpersonal dramatics will find much to savor in Currier’s deceptively simple narrative as intimate histories and close friendships mingle with explosive results.” My favorite point mentioned, however, is the review’s tagline, which echoes back to the impact of the crime on each of the characters. “No one emerges from the mountain cabin unscathed.” The official publication date is November 3, but most retailers have a copy of the book now.

Four aging, gay male friends reunite over a Thanksgiving holiday, unearthing hidden pasts and a smoldering tragedy in Currier's (A Gathering Storm, 2014, etc.) novel.
