Justin Luke Zirilli is the co-director and head promoter of BoiParty.com, a New York-based gay nightlife events company. He and his business partner, Alan Picus, throw weekly dance parties around New York City, and larger events across the United States. In addition to event planning, Justin feeds his addiction to social media as the creator of Gorgeous, Gay and Twenty-Something, a private international Facebook group; as the New York correspondent of the national gay talk show, The Swish Edition; and by moonlighting as a social media and new business consultant.

If you can't tell by the summary, Gulliver Takes Manhattan is a popcorn novel. A rather addictive popcorn novel - I started reading one chapter on a break and finished the entire novel. Zirilli's writing may not be sophisticated, but it's more than competent, especially considering that Gulliver Tak......more
Dear Gulliver, The drama could have sooo been avoided. But hey, I enjoy drama from time to time and I certainly got it here. Living vicariously through Gulliver was certainly stressful at times but highly entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and didn't stop reading till I was finished. Ont......more
“New York is famous for its literary movements…[and] the Facebook generation has produced a number of unlikely breakout stars, including author Justin Luke Zirilli.” —Advocate.com“[Zirilli] manages to give his characters depth, fluidity, composition, posture, and sets them all in a background that is believable and vivid.
