Review The Kid: What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant / Penguin Putnam Inc USA:Best known for his syndicated sexual advice column, "Savage Love", Dan Savage shares his own story in The Kid, a hilarious account of his efforts-along with his partner-to adopt a child. (Whoops, make that his boyfriend; Savage can't stand the "genderless" P-word: "Straight people and press organs that want to acknowledge gay relationships while at the same time pushing the two-penises stuff as far out of their minds as possible love 'partner. ' I hated it. ") Savage doesn't give an inch on the sexuality issue; it's hard to imagine that a homophobic reader would even pick up The Kid but if it happened, Savage's unapologetic presentation of his life would quickly scare offthat reader. Which isn't to say that he paints a rosy picture of homosexual cohabitation: The very first scene finds Dan's boyfriend, Terry, locking himself in the bathroom after a fight over the music on the car stereo. The misadventures continue through each step of the open-adoption process, in which Dan and Terry get to know their baby's birth mother and the first few weeks of parenthood. The Kid is a wonderful, charming account of real "family values" that proves love knows no limits. -amazon. com.

Review Highsmith: A Romance of the Fifties / Cleis Press:Highsmith: A Romance of the 1950s begins like a brainy, romantic novel complete with exotic settings, fast-paced dialogue and a who's who of the 1950s New York literati. All this should not be surprising given that Marijane Meaker's tale of her two-year relationship with famed mystery novelist Patricia Highsmith comes from a pen that has crafted more than 40 works of fiction and non-fiction. Meaker's touch is light and clear. She backlights her memoir with glimpses of the New York scene of the era: the Mafia-controlled lesbian bars, the rise of Fire Island, the rage for Freudian psychoanalysis. She doesn't attempt a detailed literary biography, nor is the book a complete psychological portrait of Highsmith. But Meaker, a self-proclaimed lover of pseudonymous disguises, does peer beneath Highsmith's public mask to reveal her constant despair over a disapproving mother, her fascination/obsession with Germany and her discomfort around intellectuals. This, and Meaker's persistent jealousy and constant fear that her beloved Pat would leave her to write in Europe slowly edges the narrative into darker territory. Inevitably, the lovers part, and each author kills off the other, albeit in fictional form, with their first post-relationship murder mysteries. Meaker closes the book by describing her difficult 1992 reunion with Highsmith. Meaker depicts her ex-lover as a hard-drinking, grizzled, chain-smoking, bigoted woman recently returned from Europe and recovering from a bout of lung cancer. [+]Far from the bright beginnings of young love in the 1950s, this segment provides a depth absent from the earlier, more novelistic chapters and provides a glimpse of what a further, more complete biography might have to offer. -Patrick O'Kelley, Amazon. com.
