description: "Set in a leather and western bar near a decaying waterfront, John Rechy's 'Rushes' is a bold and powerful journey into one side of the homosexual world. Over the course of a single evening, an extraordinary range of characters passes through the Rushes, creating an unforgettable mosaic of individuals and constructing an ephemeral community. The descent into the depths of a sexual world culminates with one of the most shattering experiences in recent fiction. Out of the lives he explores, Rechy distills a moving human experience that will leave few readers untouched" -- Page 4 of cover.
