from the cover:

"Andrew Holleran's classic Dancer from the Dance became an icon for gay men in the 1970s, portraying a man's descent from high society in Connecticut to a glittering world of hedonism and promiscuity in New York City. Now, in Holleran's first work of fiction in fourteen years, the dance has finished, and the dancer, a forty-seven-year-old man named Lark, is in the closet and in Gainesville, Florida. HIV-negative and a refugee from Manhattan, Lark divides his time caring for his bedridden elderly mother, thinking about the beauty of youth and his own mortality, and longing for a stunningly virile and handsome man named Becker, who haunts his days and dreams. A brilliant, passionate, lyrical song of a man ashamed to be mourning the loss of his own youth while so many around him have died young, The Beauty of Men is a mature work filled with dark humor, black ruminations, powerful eroticism, and truth."
