Stan Herman's deeply moving and insightful memoir, following personal triumphs and tragedies include his nearly 40-year relationship with novelist Gene Horowitz, who suffered a heart attack and passed away in 1992. Together they lived their lives in the shadow of the AIDS crisis that decimated their personal and professional worlds. They also shared a beloved poodle named “Mozart,” who helped fill the void when Herman found himself suddenly alone With equal aplomb, Herman writes with good humour and compassion, recalling the cruel and casual racism he witnessed in the military, his focus on animal rights in the fashion industry – as well as encountering the indignities of one’s aging anatomy. Herein is the story of the man whose vision, over 60 years, has dramatically helped forge and transform American style.
