A Song for Olaf

It's the summer of 1969. And the ink on the headlines about the Stonewall Uprising is barely dry when the entire country is mesmerized by a musical revolution rocking Woodstock. Smack dab in the middle of it all is teenage Olaf, about to leave home for his first year at college in upstate New York. Gay, gorgeous, and musically gifted, Olaf is the only son of a close-knit Italian-American family. Ready or not, he will soon find himself surfing major waves of change empowered by the Gay Rights Movement of the 70s. Unbeknownst to him and his younger sister, whom he lovingly called Holine, he's about to confront the deadly perils of entrenched homophobia and an emerging HIV-AIDS epidemic. In this expansive memoir steeped in historicity, author Jennifer Boulanger gifts readers with a moving story about truth and lies, societal upheaval, and families in crises, as seen through the lens of a loving sister and insightful chronicler.
