Johnny Would You Love Me If My Dick Were Bigger
By Brontez PurnellPublisher Description
"Brontez is a raw tongue of flame blazing through all the blatant fakery and insincere bullshit of today's gay/music/human scene. This audacious non-memoir burnt the hair off the back of my neck and had me rolling with glee." —S.F. Bay Guardian
"By asking, “Would you love me if….?” Purnell is not inquiring about the limits of love, he announcing his awareness that limits exist and snubbing his nose accordingly. He refuses to go straight, adjust his expectations, or refrain from being too much. Along the way, he has carved out a creative and hopefully satisfying life full of dance, writing, friendship, sex, adventure, and as it seems, love." —Lambda Literary Review
“Outrageous, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartrending—all at once.” —Aaron Cometbus, Cometbus Magazine
"Brontez is unabashed, and, unlike most of us, can admit that he just wants people to like him. Well, we do like Brontez, and as he says in his book, yeah, his stories are on fire." —Slutist

“Hall of fame book title. Also a useful litmus test! If it feels like a bit much for you then the book is very definitely a bit much for you.
Our unnamed narrator grew up in Alabama and moved to San Francisco some years ago. Time is not linear here. He’s in a punk band so it’s after a show, now it’s back in Alabama as a teenager, then it’s a hookup 10 years later. But because the writing snaps from genuinely funny to extremely tender in a few lines you kinda get used to the whiplash.
It’s sexy, it’s filthy, it’s so funny! There are times when I had to put the book down, let out a long breath and compose myself. I truly loved it.”
