Temple Slave

by Robert Patrick

Totally romanticized fiction recreating the atmosphere of the first days of underground or Off-Off Broadway theater in New York in the 1960s. ANNOTATED EDITION. Highly adult content. "...you must read this book. It draws such a tragic, and, in a way, noble portrait of Mr. Buono. It leads the reader, almost against his will, into a deep sympathy with this strange man who tried to comfort, to encourage and to feed both the worthy and the worthless...it is impossible not to mourn for this man--impossible not to praise this book." (Quentin Crisp)
