THE HEADLONG ADOLESCENCE OF A MID-CENTURY KID
Jonathan Lerner's memoir of (gay) sex, (radical) politics, rock-and-roll, and looming adulthood in the years just before all hell broke loose in the multiple upheavals we now call "the sixties." Read more about it now.
"Lerner uses an uncanny memory of things past plus relentless insight to reconstruct a mid-century America brimming with confidence, haunted by the ghosts of racism, and poised for big change. Performance Anxiety is smart, moving, tender, funny, tense, and deeply resonant."

I am also the author of three novels, Lily Narcissus, Alex Underground and Caught in a Still Place, and the memoir Swords in the Hands of Children. I co-edited the oral history Voices from Wounded Knee, about the 1973 confrontation on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. For four decades I have been a magazine writer and editor, and am a longtime contributing editor at Landscape Architecture Magazine, where my work addresses connections between the built and natural environments.
