Danny's Choice

More about the book

The story of the casting couch as an avenue to stardom, whether on New York's Broadway or in Hollywood, is a classic one in literature and film. Danny's Choice plays and twists this theme. It is about predatory producers and the hard bargains they strike to further the careers of young men in exchange for the men's virginity. It is about how this effects the lives of those young men. Danny's Choice is a collection of four interlocking stories-sometimes connected directly and sometimes only in coincidence. As part of the twist, Danny's Choice, within the context of the stories, is also a fictitious book written by the fictitious Christopher Wilson in the late 1950s about his coming of age into the gay lifestyle in New York City in the post-World War II decade between 1947 and 1957.
