| Summary |
"What are the odds that a disheveled, zaftig, closeted kid with the thickest of Jersey accents might wind up running the Irish Catholic stronghold of Boston, drafting some of the nation's first gay rights laws, reforming Wall Street after the Great Recession, and finding love after a lifetime assuming that he couldn't and wouldn't? With the wit and sass of its subject, Smahtguy traces the path of an unlikely gay and civil rights crusader, one of America's first out members of Congress. A funny, beautifully rendered warts-and-all graphic account, Smahtguy is at once a history of gay emancipation and a window into the inner workings of Boston and DC politics, laid bare in all their down-and-dirty detail. In addition, it pays tribute to the mighty striving of committed liberals to defend ordinary Americans from the assault on their shared society that began with Reaganism."--Jacket. |
