Book Reviews of Split Image
Book Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Split Image" was very well written and focused equally on Tony's private life and career. The book should also be seen as an important doucment in the booming, emerging area of gay history works that are leading the movement to piece together gay history - which, despite what many Americans think - did not begin with Stonewall. Having read other information and books on Perkin's life, I found few inaccuracies and I think the author did a good job of refraining from sensationalism, but did paint a picture of a tortured gay existence that many of us can relate to. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in Perkin's life and career and anyone currently caught up in the gay history literary movement. If you're into the later, you may also want to read "Subterranean Kerouac," about the hidden life of America's most important author, Jack Kerouac. If you'd like to discuss, email me.
