Why We Never Danced the Charleston

The cult classic novel set in the gay underground of 1920s Charleston—with a new afterword by the Lambda Literary Award-winning author.

South Carolina, 1920s. For those young men and women fortunate enough to come from the right families, life in Charleston was a party—one where the latest craze was a strange new dance called “The Charleston. ” But some young men were forced to seek their romances in the shadows—where judgment and the law have trouble identifying exactly who is who.

Decades later, whispers emerge of something baffling and tragic that happened back then. As an old man confronts those demanding the truth, a story of love, betrayal and the deadly consequences of repression unfolds. A cult favorite by the author of What the Dead Remember and The German Officer’s Boy, Harlan Greene’s debut novel is restored to print with a new afterword revealing the facts upon which it is based.
