{"product_id":"the-rest-of-it-martin-duberman-9780822370703","title":"The Rest of It: Hustlers, Cocaine, Depression, and Then Some, 1976-1988","description":"For many, the death of a parent marks a low point in their personal lives. For Martin Duberman--a major historian and a founding figure in the history of gay and lesbian studies--the death of his mother was just the beginning of what became a twelve-year period filled with despair, drug addiction, and debauchery. From his cocaine use, massive heart attack, and immersion into New York's gay hustler scene to experiencing near-suicidal depression and attending rehab, \u003ci\u003eThe Rest of It\u003c\/i\u003e is the previously untold and revealing story of how Duberman managed to survive his turbulent personal life while still playing leading roles in the gay community and the academy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Despite the hardships, Duberman managed to be incredibly productive: he wrote his biography of Paul Robeson, rededicated himself to teaching, wrote plays, and coedited the prize-winning \u003ci\u003eHidden from History\u003c\/i\u003e. His exploration of new paths of scholarship culminated in his founding of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, thereby inaugurating a new academic discipline. At the outset of the HIV\/AIDS epidemic Duberman increased his political activism, and in these pages he also describes the tensions between the New Left and gay organizers, as well as the profound homophobia that created the conditions for queer radical activism. Filled with gossip, featuring cameo appearances by luminaries such as Gore Vidal, Norman Mailer, Vivian Gornick, Susan Brownmiller, Kate Millett, and N stor Almendros, among many others, and most importantly, written with an unflinching and fearless honesty, \u003ci\u003eThe Rest of It\u003c\/i\u003e provides scathing insights into a troubling decade of both personal and political history. It is a stimulating look into a key period of Duberman's life, which until now had been too painful to share.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Duberman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822370700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822370703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2018 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/16\/2018","brand":"Martin Duberman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46070245228799,"sku":"9780822370703","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5ed15f2-8a23-4f7e-aa66-d5763911b4ef.jpg?v=1724242690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rest-of-it-martin-duberman-9780822370703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
