“We have all the time in the world, my sweet beautiful man.”It was the ending that scared off even gay editors back in the day. The last chapter of playwright Richard Willett’s controversial lost novel of the eighties is an intimate victory dance of overt gay male sexuality at a time when not just silence = death, but for many sex = death. Now, perhaps, readers will be more open to celebrating it.It’s 1986 in New York City and 27-year-old Eric Summerfield knows that “yuppies” are supposed to be obnoxious, easily dismissed, but he envies the clarity of their delusions, their seeming ability to keep mortality at bay. He yearns, in fact, to be one of them. The He’s no Wall Street insider, but instead the underpaid employee of a Canadian chain bookstore in Midtown Manhattan, a Canuck himself, and gay, and AIDS suddenly seems to be everywhere, including in the body of his flamboyant friend and coworker Dale, who inexplicably singles out a reluctant Eric to be his chief caregiver. It’s an experience that will change both of them.Moving back and forth across time and place from youth in the 1960s and ’70s-Eric’s in Vancouver, Dale’s on a farm in Kansas-to the pressure cooker of New York in the gay eighties, A Friend of Dorothy’s is also a timeless, universal coming of age novel, in which the crucible of illness compels one young man to reach for something greater.PR A I S E FOR A Friend of Dorothy’s”Nothing can have prepared you for the wit and insight, the eccentricity and inspiring optimism with which this consistently surprising young writer depicts a year at the heart of his generation’s greatest calamity.” — Joseph Pintauro, author of Cold Hands and Raft of the Medusa”There is a knowingness, a sense of timing, a compassion and forgiveness under all the action, character to character. What Richard Willett has-in abundance-is love for the people he is chronicling and, by recording, saving.” — Allan Gurganus, author of The Practical Heart, Plays Well with Others, and Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All”The writing is poignant, realistic and fine; the reader is pierced and instantly seduced by the characters’ appeal and immediacy.” — Harlan Greene, author of The German Officer’s Boy, What the Dead Remember, and Why We Never Danced the CharlestonRichard Willett’s short stories have been published in Christopher Street, Hawaii Review, American Writing, Karamu, and Oxalis, among others, as well as short-listed for New American Library’s Men on Best New Gay Fiction, edited by David Bergman.

Honors include an Edward F. Albee Foundation Fellowship and a Tennessee Williams Scholarship, designation as a finalist for the Dramatists Guild National Fellows Program and the Sundance Labs, and listing twice in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Nicholl Top 50.
