Homo Gogo Man: A Fairytale About A Boy Growing Up In Discoland
What happens when a young person searching for belonging discovers the liberating world of New York City nightlife?
In HOMO GOGO MAN, Christopher Duquette takes readers inside a remarkable period of self-discovery shaped by the energy, freedom, excess, and cultural transformation of Manhattan's legendary club scene. From early experiences of identity and sexuality to nights spent within the city's underground culture, Christopher recounts a life in motion and the continuing search to understand where, and with whom, he belonged.
But beyond the glitter, music, and exhilaration were difficult realities. Addiction, disappointment, relationships, and the consequences of personal choices became part of a much larger journey toward survival, recovery, and reinvention.
HOMO GOGO MAN is candid, colorful, and intensely personal, preserving Christopher's memories of an era while exploring universal questions of identity, acceptance, belonging, and the courage required to become oneself.
The First Edition features its original cover artwork, reflecting the retro energy and popular culture surrounding Christopher's story.
