In this erudite, witty, and salacious autobiography, novelist, professor, tattoo artist, and gay pornographer Samuel Steward relates the details of his incredible life. Fans of Justin Spring's National Book Award-winning biography THE SECRET HISTORIAN will already be familiar with many of these stories, but Steward's personal reminiscences crackle with extraordinary vitality, humor, and charm. The text of this book was assiduously assembled from two separate versions by the book's editor, Jeremy Mulderig, who will appear at Unabridged on Wednesday, April 18th at 7PM to discuss his work in bringing a cohesive rendering of this wonderful autobiography to print. Join us for what is sure to be a fascinating evening! 🙌🏽💕#unabooksprideallyear #unabridgedbookoftheweek #samuelsteward #lgbthistory #queerhistory #gaychicago #gayliterature #queerlit (at Unabridged Bookstore)
