The autobiographical essays in Advantage offer understanding in to the passions of acclaimed writer Jeff Mann. These thoughts, insightful as they are endearing, range from his boyhood obsession with the gothic allure of Deep Shadows to the question and pain of being a Southerner, and so at the border of the gay community, and the appeal of leather bars and bear culture. Mann also visits gay meccas in these essays - the resorts of Key Western, Provincetown, and Rehoboth Beach, along with several Western european vacation spots such as Germany, Ireland, Belgium, and Scotland, have important cameos. But he is never an idle tourist - he is challenged by his encounters, and his observations disclose the thoughts of many gay men. Along the way Mann ruminates on a variety of topics, from lost addicts to wearing kilts, theophany, Sylvia Plath, adult videos, and bathhouses.
