A poignant and tender coming-of-age novel, R. J. Lee's, The Majestic Leo Marble, follows its endearing protagonist from the womb through young adulthood. Set to the musical score of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel, Lee's pitch perfect aria recounts early gay rights activism and the AIDS crisis through the compelling voice of the charming Leo Marble.-Robert Gwaltney, award winning author of The Cicada Tree, and Georgia Author of the Year
Leo Marble, a journalist for the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, advocates for a gay coalition in the Crescent City. The novel discusses the political fight with Anita Bryant and a boycott of Florida orange juice, and it feels like an important book for the current era, especially in its relation to the teaching scandals surrounding gay people who have been unfairly accused of grooming children.... The way that teachers are leveraged in the anti-gay crusade in this story offers a striking comparison to the current taboos against drag queens and trans people.-Mike Hilbig, author of Judgment Day & Other White Lies
