Here also are fathers and brothers and stories of men in their youth, when rivalry often develops more naturally than alliance. In \"Buddies\" Mordden continues to map the unstoried wilderness of gay life today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Buddies: A Continuation of the Buddies Cycle | Ethan Mordden | Paperback | 0312010052 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1785619","offer_id":67793033560216,"sku":"1785619","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61KXnsEJDsL.jpg?v=1792764762","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/buddies-a-continuation-of-the-buddies-cycle","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
