What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.?

Reviews


"Ed Karvoski Jr., author of What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.?, poses gossip quizzes and corrects the vision of blind items -- an insatiable vacuum cleaner in the showbiz closet."

-- Laurie Stone, THE VILLAGE VOICE (New York)

"This trivia book's greatest quality is that it's educational and fun. You could read a gay encyclopedia and not retain as much information as you could by playing along with this book. It has a little of everything: the big stars, the small stars, the blockbusters, and the tiny independents. But most of all, it has lots of gays and lesbians right where they can do the most good -- out and proud and in everybody's face. ... It's a test that will certainly entertain."

-- IN TOUCH FOR MEN

"Media addicts of the world unite! Find out What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q. as author Ed Karvoski Jr. takes you for a tour through the facts of celebrity 'outs' and popcorn culture references to our lifestyles. It's all in here, running the gamut from Pillow Talk quotes to what Oprah asked Ellen after her famous 'Yep, I'm Gay' episode. ... The quotes are especially fun. ... You'll be surprised at how many hooks Karvoski throws your way."

-- MANDATE

"What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.? will tax readers' trivia knowledge to the utmost while it amuses and informs. ... Even the most learned of gay trivia buffs are certain to exclaim, 'I didn't know that!' to some of the brainteasers that Karvoski poses. He hasn't made things easy, but that's half the fun of the book."

-- J.S. Hall (syndicated writer), DALLAS VOICE (Dallas), BAY WINDOWS (Boston), etc.

"You can't spend all your time seeing movies, renting videos and watching television -- sometimes you'd rather read about them. ... What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.? [is] great for long drives, poolside or the beach."

-- Belissa Cohen, IN LOS ANGELES (Los Angeles)

"Nationally syndicated columnist Ed Karvoski Jr. follows up his best-selling book A Funny Time to Be Gay with What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.?, which has the potential to be the queer summer party game of the season."

-- Gregg Shapiro (syndicated writer), THE WEEKLY NEWS (Miami), THE TEXAS TRIANGLE (Austin), etc.

"In What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.?, Karvoski pretty much covers it all: queer film quotes, drama queens, video trivia, movie kisses, and who done what with whom and where in what medium. This is the kind of book you just have to own, not only to wow your friends with your Hollywood knowledge, but as a great resource when pondering all those baffling questions, like, 'Was so-and-so really queer?' And, 'Who did so-and-so kiss in that movie, and what was the name of it again?'"

-- Andrea L.T. Peterson (syndicated writer), UPDATE (San Diego), OUT IN THE MOUNTAINS (Burlington, Vermont), etc.

"For conversation starters, on the beach or at a summer soiree, try What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.? by Ed Karvoski Jr. Do you know which Marx Brother dressed in drag? Who are 'two of the finest Americans' Tom Hanks thanked for his Oscar win? Or who quipped, 'If you're homosexual, you like men. If you're gay, you know all the words to South Pacific'? We know!"

-- OUT (Pittsburgh)

"Ed Karvoski Jr. has written another dynamic book -- What's Your Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.?... Don't miss it!"

-- Bill Kaiser, ON THE PURPLE CIRCUIT

"What's Yor Gay & Lesbian Entertainment I.Q.? takes a comprehensive look at gays and lesbians in entertainment via trivia. ... Not only does it quiz a person's knowledge of the gay community's involvement [in the entertainment industry], but it also may be used as a reference to various gay-themed entertainment. ... Much too often there is a segregation between the gay male and lesbian communities; Karvoski finds a balance in his coverage. ... His work combines the two into one cohesive community."
-- Tavis Cline, OUT FRONT COLORADO (Denver)

"... a trivia book with a wealth of information on gay and lesbian themes in movies, songs, and pop culture from yesteryear and today... a fun book..."

-- Jeff Adair, MetroWest Daily News (MetroWest Massachusetts)

"Karvoski's a hoot and so is his book. Check it out."

-- Archie Rothman, 4-FRONT MAGAZINE (Los Angeles)
