I agree with you about the inherent homo-eroticism of the Gay Lesbian and Biker community. However, this story came out before Aids came into the popular consciousness.<BR/><BR/>One thing I have noticed is that if there is a range of possible interpretations to any given text, you invariably plump for the gayest. <BR/><BR/>Is that an Aprilla in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?boynamedsuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09118705322421817418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613976908063781734.post-29863936867911114092008-07-12T08:06:00.000-07:002008-07-12T08:06:00.000-07:00BTW BNS, you'll need some Xs and Ys to solve this wicked slang equation for those who are not in the know:<BR/><BR/>Bike = Gay sex<BR/>Biker = Gay<BR/>Haunted Abbey = Adult Age<BR/>Bike Crash = AIDS<BR/><BR/>SYNOPSIS<BR/><BR/>A group of gay friends face adulthood with anxiety and fear. As time goes by, they will mingle with it rather than clash -and will have to self-sacrifice in order to grow up.<BR/><BR/>However, the most charismatic member of the group, Geronimo, remains loyal to the lifestyle of their youth until his sudden, unexpected death from AIDS, what will gather again the old friends.<BR/><BR/>VERDICT: A good story about love, sex and death in the early 1980s aimed at raising awareness<BR/>among the GLBT community.alcinoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03481964743615097006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613976908063781734.post-49167077578956683922008-07-12T07:46:00.000-07:002008-07-12T07:46:00.000-07:00BNS, could you please produce YOUR readers with a relevant excerpt of the book along with a short backdrop introduction? That would possibly be the best proemium of the author.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I feel mesmerized at the ghastly nun apparition. You'd say that only happens in spooky Highland moors peopled by silent redhead shepherds, but apparently ghosts have been venturing lately into England as well.<BR/><BR/>As to the bike parade, it sounds like more of the same gay paradigm -as a matter of fact, I've never seen a so-called 'bicifestaacció' where the dressing code wasn't buck nakedness.<BR/><BR/>Could 'bike' possibly mean homosexual sex, by the same token that 'Bordeaux' means "all-consuming passion" in Balzac?<BR/><BR/>Habeamus corpus, boy.<BR/><BR/>alcinousalcinoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03481964743615097006noreply@blogger.com
