Oral reports in class. Finished “Se Vuol Cantare.” Downtown in the evening to hear Bruce and GGD read from their new books at Malaprop’s. In a generation I may not need to say “It takes more than being gay to make a story.” GGD was so used to being a beautiful young man adored by the whole Los Angeles scene that it never wore off. That’s what his poems are about, whatever the ostensible subject. Stopped a Zambras for a couple of cocktails. Felt very downtown citylife.
