About This Book
Blurring the Line is the first of two volumes in author Daniel Selby’s novelized autobiography based on decades of journal entries. He relates the story of a young, openly gay man striving to make his way in the world of show business in the 1970s and 1980s.
He has his mother’s support in both personal and professional matters but yearns for his father’s approval. His poignant yet humorous quest for independence and self-reliance take him from his northern California hometown to the entertainment centers of Hollywood and Reno and as far afield as Studio 54 in New York City and Australia’s outback.
Along the way he deals with sex, drugs, and life-threatening anorexia nervosa. In this first volume, his dreams of breaking through to find love, acceptance, and fulfillment never come true for very long at a time. But broken hearts, lost relationships, and the need for healing are only the beginning of life, never the end.
