Swag Tuesday

Courtesy of A&M Books, this week's Swag Tuesday prize is a double-whammy of beach reading pleasure. Take a peek inside the beach culture of fabulously gay Rehoboth Beach via bestselling author Fay Jacobs' two compilations of stories about gay life on the summer playground for Washington DC's homos: the bestselling As I Lay Frying: A Rehoboth Beach Memoir and Jacobs' brand new Fried & True: Tales From Rehoboth Beach.

In 1995, writer Fay Jacobs and her partner Bonnie literally cruised into town and discovered the unique charm of this seaside community. Almost immediately, Fay began chronicling her life as a Rehoboth weekender in a column that appeared in the magazine Letters from CAMP Rehoboth. In the years that followed, Fay's Rehoboth fans have followed her smart, witty columns as Fay & Bonnie made the transition from visitors to regulars to locals themselves. Fay's unique voice and her willingness to bare it all in print turned her fans into a sort of extended family. Fay's essays, finally together in one volume, tell a story that is sometimes provocative, sometimes political, occasionally heartwarming, and always hilarious.
