Endangered Species by Jeff Mann

Endangered Species by Jeff Mann

Two-time Lambda Literary and four-time National Leather Association award-winning author Jeff Mann's newest collection of personal essays speaks out against homophobia and the outdated ideas of masculinity demanded by life in Appalachia and the American South. Mann's writings will arouse, amuse, and provoke. Whether remarking on treating a Narcissus to dinner in New Orleans, mulling over the decision to purchase a hand gun because of the current political clime, or fantasizing with his husband over a pair of burly house painters lingering over stiff brushes, Mann's bold statements are gruff insights about what gay life is--and should be--below the Mason-Dixon Line.

Jeff Mann left upstate New York's ice and snow to follow his rock 'n' roll dreams. He currently writes on rock 'n' roll, current affairs, politics, and the world around us after ten years as a roadie for touring rock bands like KISS, Alice Cooper, and Megadeth, as well as on the road with Metallica, AC/DC, and Guns N Roses... from his own twisted point of view He refs roller derby in his leisure time and enjoys reading, tattoos, beer, travel, yoga, and spending time with his wife and kids. He is currently residing in Tucson, Arizona, as a recovering drummer.
