Publicity is hard to come by even for an award-winning author, apparently.
Here's my pithy Q&A with Greg Shapiro published in Philadelphia Gay News.
An excerpt:
Gregg: I’m guessing that you’ve been out of high school for a while.
However, you’ve succeeded in giving the setting gravitas and
authenticity. What are the rewards and challenges for you when it comes
to writing about the 1970s?
Me: I feel a kind of responsibility to describe that era because those who experienced that are part of an elder generation that needs to tell their stories. It’s also a very rich time in terms of music, fashion, good or bad, and just the whole era of it was innocent in some ways. And since the 1970s are now 40 years ago, I like to presume that it could be considered historical fiction.
