Farewell Gary Indiana: underground hero who chronicled the fallacies of erotic life
Briefly

"Elfin yet fierce, with the knowing look of someone who had been around the chopping block of desire, Gary struck me as an authentic downtown literary artist..."
"Gary, who was born in New Hampshire in 1950, covered the deadly exploits of Andrew Cunanan and the Menendez brothers, turning their crimes into a dark critique of American values."
"He wrote a searing play about Roy Cohn, made savage, sometimes campy videos, and earned his reputation as a bete noir of the art world and a hero to the underground."
"To get an idea of the third achievement, read Gary's fiction, in which the most florid sexual promises turn out to be lies."
