Synopsis
A queer as Folk Style Diary of Sexual Escapades; In the late 1970s, there was a massive migration of young gay men to San Francisco. They left home in droves, travelling by train, plane or bus towards a life free from discrimination. Struggling to make ends meet, many worked in bookstores and restaurants, all the while taking advantage of the burgeoning scene of sexual hedonism. Wild Animals I Have Known is a frank, witty, and literate portrayal of the experiences of one such wide-eyed 22 year-old living in San Francisco at this time. First and foremost an account of Bentley's erotic exploits, it is also the diary of a bookish, terrified, exuberantly promiscuous and laughably romantic gay man's adventures in the pre-AIDS gay mecca. Boyfriends From Hell, men that got away, and tricks to remember are delightfully caught in cameo and sometimes skewered to hilarious effect.
