PERFORMANCE ANXIETY

THE HEADLONG ADOLESCENCE OF A MID-CENTURY KID

Jonathan Lerner's just-published 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."
