“Passionate Outlier” is a collection of 20 interviews and book reviews by freelance journalist Frank Pizzoli, covering gay authors, with one lesbian and one ally.
Ranging from 2007 to 2019, Pizzoli talks with authors like Edmund White, John Rechy, Daniel Mendelsohn, and Salman Rushdie, and covers books about Gore Vidal and Christopher Isherwood.
He captures great writers speaking about literature, politics, and gay life, while providing all necessary background on them.
The book offers a rich, informative history of the queer community in a manner that keeps readers engaged with interesting stories and memories that many of us will read about for the first time.
Frank Pizzoli’s book is filled with the passion that comes from writers who have lived a life of community activism and commitment to the people within their community.
