Book Notes - Frank Anthony Polito ("Drama Queers!" - Largehearted Boy Frank Anthony Polito's debut novel Band Fags! impressed me with its snappy dialogue and realistic portrayal of late 1980's high school life. As with Band Fags!, each chapter in Drama Queers! is titled after an '80s tune (again, with a few minor exceptions). I chose songs with lyrics that reflect what is happening to the characters at each particular moment in the story, and were popular at the particular time each chapter is taking place during 1987-88 (again, with a few minor exceptions). Chapter 4—"Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" by The Smiths "So for once in my life Let me get what I want…" Brad wants to be elected to Homecoming "Top 25." Enough said?
