"Independence Park, Tel Aviv, is the best-known meeting place for gay men in Israel, Independence Park, Jerusalem, is perhaps second-best known, and the hope for independence is the dominant theme of this wide-ranging collection of personal narratives told in the voices of twelve gay men representing a cross-section of contemporary Israeli society.".

"A rich assemblage of anthropological fieldwork, the book also can be read as literature - there are some fine storytellers here - or for pure human interest, as the narratives themselves are deeply moving"--BOOK JACKET.
