Amy Hoffman

Local literary light Amy Hoffman (Hospital Time) joins us to share her brand-new memoir of gay liberation before AIDS, gay weddings, or The L-Word. With a small circulation but a huge influence, Gay Community News produced a generation of leaders, writers, and friends. In addition to capturing the heady atmosphere of the times, Hoffman’s memoir is also her personal story of growing up in a political movement; of her deepening relationships with charismatic, talented, and sometimes utterly weird coworkers; and of trying to explain it all to her large Jewish family.
