"Frank Pizzoli is the ideal interviewer-smart, well informed, interested in his subjects and the worlds in which they operate, and thoroughly engaging as a writer." -Patrick Merla, former editor of Christopher Street "If, as writers, activists, and advocates, we stand on the shoulders of all those who came before us, it is our first responsibility to know who they were in their own words. Presented here are 20 interviews and reviews in which my main endeavor was to have each participant adequately portrayed."-from the introduction of Passionate Outlier: Gay Writers and Allies on Their Work, the stunning collection of interviews and book reviews from journalist and AIDS activist Frank Pizzoli, featuring an insightful afterword from Christopher Bram, author of Gods and Monsters and Eminent Outlaws: The Gay Writers Who Changed America.

In his signature style, the well-curated selection is a must-read-extensive and incisive, engaging and vital." -Deb Miller, NYC Editor and Writer, DC Theater Arts "Frank Pizzoli is a gifted writer and he delightfully delivers compelling interviews that engage the readers. I highly recommend this book." -JR Pratts, Publisher, Instinct Magazine In 2010, Frank Pizzoli was honored as a Living Legend during Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's sesquicentennial celebrations.
