Boy Does World: Fifteen Years of Bad Behavior, Bad Attitudes, and Happy Endings
It's a big world. Somebody's gotta do it.
As a closeted gay kid in rural Kentucky, Sean Bugg dreamed of the day he would make it to the big city. When he got there, the small-town boy found himself in a big-town world of sex, love, parties, fashion disasters, some more sex, boyfriends, ex-boyfriends, and—finally—true love. Selected from his fifteen years as a columnist for Metro Weekly, Boy Does World ranges from the ribald to the romantic, the 90s wild child to the 21st century suburbanite, and finds something funny about every step of the way.
"Sean was fearlessly funny in a fearful era clouded by AIDS, and Boy Does World is a wonderful chance to enjoy a retro romp into that past. It's also an affirming look at some happy endings—the hard-won, worth-fighting-for future of gay equality and domestic bliss." — Hank Stuever, author of Tinsel and Off Ramp
"Sean's story of sexual discovery is one that many gay men will relate to, but it's written in a funny, insightful way that few other writers could match." — Craig Seymour, author of All I Could My Life in the Strip Clubs of Gay Washington, D.C.
