Acknowledgments
THERE HAVE BEEN two occasions when reading a book has literally changed my life. In 1972 I was expelled from high school as "a detriment to the morale of the school." In other words, I was unapologetically effeminate, very possibly "homosexual," and chose to skip school for weeks at a time to avoid the beatings and other abuse I regularly experienced at the hands of the students (often in the presence of "indulgent" teachers) because of my (sexual) differences. I took a part-time job cleaning a bakery at night, and continued to live in my parents' house in a lower-middle-class, inner-city neighborhood of Buffalo, New York. My biological family was a merger of two lunatic fringe Christian sects, Pentecostal and Seventh-Day Adventist. I was raised strictly observant of the latter, although I also had to attend ''Sunday" services in deference to the former. My anger and frustration over my situation were expressed in a kind of vengeful glamour. In order to get through dinner, I would take mescaline or LSD, and descend from my bedroom into the kitchen in high drag: Liz Taylor-as-Cleopatra-inspired eye makeup, Eva Gabor wigs, stiletto heels, and ridiculously long cigarette holders. One afternoon in 1973, while getting ready to go to an Alice Cooper concert, I began reading Thomas Hardy's
