A Better Class of Blond

A Better Class of Blond is an absorbing account of a year spent in and around San Francisco. In his diary, the author records not only his impressions of cities and places, but of people and their way of life, and of falling in love —with a young Vietnamese man, with the landscape of California, and with San Francisco itself. “This diary should be one long hymn of praise to its beauty, the fascination of its streets, the diversity of its life-styles, the joys of its fleshly pleasures, the satisfactions of sex with its men.”
