"You changed my life" - this is the gist of the fan mail Patricia Nell Warren received following the publication of her New York Times bestseller The Front Runner (1974). This book looks at her life, her Ukrainian poetry and translation of a national epic, her sequels to The Front Runner and the most famous gay movie never made, her other novels, and her many contributions to gay and straight magazines. Homosexuality and sports, Catholic morality, right-wing politics, AIDS, queer families, Native American pride, stewardship of our planet, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia - all those issues remain timely, even several years after the death of a woman who changed so many lives.
"This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive exposition, insightful analysis, and discussion of the impact of Patricia Nell Warren's life, experiences as well as both her literary fiction and non-fiction. Dr. Endres has written the only book that adequately covers the life and work of Patricia Nell Warren, an author who played a key role in the development and showcasing of the modern gay movement. Without a doubt, this is the definitive book on Patricia Nell Warren. Having known Patricia well for over twenty years, I am aware of her respect for Nikolai Endres and his work and also how pleased and honored she would be with this outstanding volume about her."
-John Selig, LGBTQ+ podcaster, activist, photographer, and friend of Patricia Nell Warren
