Jack of Hearts

Dutton/Plume, January 1996

A prequel to the successful and award-winning Living Upstairs Hansen’s latest novel takes readers back to early 1940s California, when 17-year-old Nathan Reed comes of age, creatively, sexually, and emotionally. A funny, tender, achingly truthful coming-of-age novel from the “father of all gay and lesbian writers” (Michael Nava).
