Description

Walt Odets's book explores the complexities of gay men's lives, drawing on his experiences as a clinical psychologist and his relationships with other gay men. Through the stories of his patients and his own life, Odets sheds light on the difficulties faced by gay men, including stigma, shame, and trauma.

From those who have struggled to come out, to those who have found a new sense of purpose, the experiences shared in this book offer a powerful exploration of how to overcome adversity and find a way forward. Odets shows how learning to accept ourselves and others as we are, and independently inventing our own lives, can lead to a new way of living.

With a warm and lyrical voice, Odets offers a hopeful and inspiring picture of gay life, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
