title: Midnight Cowboys
author: O'Dare, Deirdre
description: Two young men from different backgrounds end up roommates at a state college in west Texas during the latter part of the turbulent '60s. In the course of their developing relationship, both get an education while treading near the edge of risk and ruin in a time when "anything goes."Riki is the black sheep of a wealthy family with one final chance to avoid the draft or disinheritance. His dream is to become a hot guitarist with a rock band, but his weakness for recreational drugs might become a stumbling block. Jerry is a true son of Bible Belt America, happy to be in college and perhaps rise above the lower middle class level of his family. He has to grow rapidly through his shock and meld into the times that had not yet found his small-town roots. When the two men form an unlikely friendship, will it develop into a deeper bond as they experience drugs, sex, and rock 'n' roll? And will that bond bring them to the brink of disaster, or lead them down the path to maturity and knowledge?Genres: Gay / Nostalgic Contemporary (1960s-Era) / The Arts / Voyeurism
