"Dangerous? Maybe, like Eugene O'Neill, or Tennessee Williams, or Edward
Albee. Mecca confronts us with a mirror in which we see ourselves, and
we're all a little Italian, queer and dangerous." -- Bay Area Reporter

"The oral history in Italian. Queer. Dangerous is the chronicle of a gay
activist who managed to survive inner demons, the struggle for gay
liberation, and AIDS as well as ignorance, prejudice, and homophobia. He
lived to tell. Listen." -- SF Bay Times
