Edge Boston Magazine Loves “Gay French For Love & Hookups”
Bonjour, everybody! Before this month draws to a close I just wanted to mention the latest nice little mention of our books in the gay media. This time it was in A. Sebastian Fortino’s excellent multi-part look in Edge Boston at the surprisingly sodomy-friendly city of Avignon (more drag queens per capita than Paris, apparently!), in Provence, France. In his nightlife segment, which ran Sept. 15, after several detailed reviews of local queer clubs with names like L’Esclave (“The Slave”), he nicely adds:
“However, if you should meet someone special and don’t exactly speak the same language make sure you have a copy of [Dave] Acton’s Gay French for Love and Hookups, available for $9.95 from www.GayBabel.net where you can also find the book available in other languages. This handy, attractive and petite guide is a reliable source from which you can comfortably and easily learn phrases such as Tu est très mignon (You are very cute) or Je ne t’oublierai jamais (I’ll never forget you).”
Well, he left out all the really juicy stuff of course, but you get the idea. I also got a note from the dude telling me how much the book livened up his trip. Well, naturellement!
Yours truly,
Dave
