Boy Does World: Fifteen Years of Bad Behaviors, Bad Attitudes, and Happy Endings

Rate this book
It’s a big world. Somebody’s gotta do it. As a 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. “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.

Sean Bugg has a disarming candor in almost everything he writes. Almost fearless but with a drop of holding back a little. As an openly gay journalist and author, he has committed so many sensitive, authentic, eye-popping and awakening tales to paper that many avid readers - like me - will crave. His first book is a distillation of these gifts, and likely will appeal to readers of all backgrounds and identities who will enjoy lifting the curtain on his inner and public life and times.
