The Very Heart Of It by Thomas Mallon
A collection of Thomas Mallon’s journal entries from the 1980s and 1990s that follows his early years as a gay writer in New York City. The entries capture daily life in the literary scene—relationships, friendships, the social world, and the effects of the emerging AIDS crisis—while tracing his personal and professional growth. Intimate and observant, the book offers a vivid, reflective portrait of that era.
