And say hi to Joyce

"Deb Price and Joyce Murdoch have guts. Their love for each other--and their commitment to proving the validity and humanity of that love--is, in their hands, a powerful and wonderful weapon. Long may they wield it."--Liz Smith, The Advocate This collection from the Detroit News columns of Deb Price blends the best of Bombeck, Maupin, and Quindlen, gently humanizing gay issues for straight readers and giving gay readers an honest reflection of their own lives. Deb joins forces with Joyce here to share not only in the joy of the first twenty months of Deb's columns but also to tell how the column is changing lives by knocking down barriers that set people apart. This is a reprint of a Doubleday hardcover published in June, 1995. "And Say Hi To Joyce is both a valuable collection of an engaging columnist's work and an interesting look behind the scenes of the newspaper milieu. But it's more; it's a heartwarming portrait of what seems a remarkable relationship--one any reader, gay or straight, might envy."-- The Washington Blade "And Say Hi To Joyce, we get the results of Price's groundbreaking experiment: a rich collection of columns that serves as a concise history of the gay rights movement in the '90s."-- San Francisco Chronicle

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of LGBTQ+. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.
