About this Item

The Front Runner (1974) by Patricia Nell Warren tells the story of Harlan Brown, a college track coach, and Billy Sive, his gifted gay athlete, as they navigate a forbidden romance while training for the 1976 Olympics. The first gay novel to make the New York Times bestseller list, it sold ten million copies worldwide and became a beacon of the gay liberation movement.

Signed & inscribed by author on title page. Hardcover. First Wildcat printing May 1995.

Advocacy

One of the primary roles of the Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Library is to advocate for the Branch and for San Diego Public Library.

Library Foundation San Diego
