Johnny Would You Love Me If My Dick Were Bigger
The reissue of Brontez Purnell's previously published memoir makes the book available beyond its original, tiny print run for booksellers and readers alike. The first iteration of this title has been out of stock and unavailable for almost its entire life, despite the fact that it did garner significant praise and coverage. FP is reissuing it simultaneously with Brontez Purnell's forthcoming book, Since I Laid My Burden Down, to help market the new title.
Brontez Purnell has been publishing, performing, and curating in the Bay Area for over ten years. He is author of the cult zine Fag School, frontman for his band The Younger Lovers, and founder and choreographer of the Brontez Purnell Dance Company. Formerly a dancer with Gravy Train!!!, a queer electro indie band that gained national prominence in the mid-2000s, Purnell's other prominent artistic collaborations include his supporting role in the queer independent feature film, "I Want Your Love" (Dir. Travis Mathews, 2012).
He was a guest curator for the Berkeley Art Museum's L@TE program in 2012, awarded an invitation to the 2012 Radar Lab queer arts summer residency, honored by Out Magazine's 2012 Hot 100 List and 2013 Most Eligible Bachelors List, and most recently won the 2014 SF Bay Guardian's Goldie for Performance/Music.
