Description
Paul Monette's memoir is a deeply personal account of growing up gay in America. Born into a seemingly ordinary family in the 1950s, Monette struggled to reconcile his true self with the expectations of those around him. This is a powerful and unflinching exploration of the constraints of living a lie, and the long journey towards self-acceptance. Through the decades, from the conformity of the 1950s to the rebelliousness of the 1960s and 1970s, Monette recounts his experiences with unflinching honesty. This is a story of the human struggle to find freedom in a time of ignorance and bigotry, and of the enduring power of the human spirit.
