Description
Moe Pearlman — once the 20-something protagonist of Hard — is now over 40, overweight, and going gray. For someone used to being the adorable younger guy chasing after older men, that’s not particularly easy. But Moe’s whole conception of himself is challenged when he spends Bear Week in Provincetown, an event that brings thousands of men to the tip of Cape Cod the week after Independence Day.
Still singular in his focus and sexual appetites, Moe hopes he’ll find a hot older guy — at tea dance, walking down Commercial Street, or cruising the Dick Dock — and have an intense summer fling. But things aren't going exactly as planned. Joining him on vacation is Moe’s ex-lover Gene and Gene’s new boyfriend Carlos, so Moe has no reason to feel lonely, but when the older objects of Moe’s affection start looking right past him in favor of younger rivals, Moe is shaken to the core.
One thing is certain: When Moe gets on the ferry to go home after a week in Provincetown, he won't be the same man he was when he arrived.
[Free eBook] Hard by Wayne Hoffman [LBGT Literary Novel]
Hard, by Wayne Hoffman, is is his literary fiction lifestyle drama novel, free for a limited time courtesy of LGBT specialty publisher Lethe Press.
This was originally published in 2006 by Carroll & Graf. The story is set in New York City during the 1990s, in the immediate aftermath of the AIDS crisis, and explores how its impact on the gay community affects characters from all walks of life over the course of a single year. This is apparently meant as a sort of companion novel to an earlier work by author Larry Kramer, which similarly explored the NYC gay community in the 1970s during the height of the sexual revolution.

Description
Taking place over the course of a single year, Hard periodically stops the action to delve into the sexual psyche of its main characters, exploring what motivates them, what turns them on, what defines their identity — what makes them hard. As Faggots explored the 1970s sexual universe of gay men in New York, Hard takes a serious look a generation later, taking readers into adult theaters, online chat rooms, bedrooms, and into the minds of the gay men who have sex there.
But while Faggots was written before AIDS, the characters in Hard are very much affected by the epidemic: Frank lost his lover to the disease, Gene is HIV-positive, Aaron's lover unwittingly puts them both in danger, and Moe's sexual politics are deeply informed by AIDS. There's nobody in Hard who hasn't had his sexuality and politics shaped by the epidemic. There's also a motley crew of activists and sex partners, co-workers and family members, porn stars and B-list celebrities.
The complex web of characters and subplots create a rich portrait of New York in the 1990s. And, like Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, Hard does it with edgy humor, snappy dialogue, and a scene-driven episodic structure.
You never change. The 3 year old you in those old pictures are still you. You never changed. When we were younger we would see a box as endless things. What do we see them as now? The box never changed, and neither did you, it's your thoughts of the box that changed.
