If I may be permitted to veer again toward the personal, I'm intensely happy to report that my husband's film
Gayby will have theatrical runs in New York, at
Cinema Village starting this Friday, and in Los Angeles, at the
Laemmle NoHo starting Oct. 26. It will also play at the Castro, in San Francisco, in November, and at the
New Orleans Film Festival, among other places. Jonathan was featured in the
New York Times last Sunday and has received lovely reviews from
Slant ("If it's not the best comedy of the year, it's easily the best to transcend the comedy formula") and, with an appropriate disclosure,
The New Yorker ("Nothing is painted too broadly, and the complications and awkwardness of the situation play out with great warmth"). Appearing next in the magazine's alphabetical listing is
How to Survive a Plague, an extraordinary new documentary about AIDS activism.
