| Description: | Select Guide Rating A memoir about growing up gay in America. From the 1950s through the rebellious 1960s to the self-creating 1970s, the author describes his life, and how he repressed his true sexuality until the day he met the man he feared he'd never meet. He grew up in a small town in New England in the 1950''s, watching lassie, going to church, getting straight A''s at school, a scholar destined for success. But he already had a secret, and his public life with family and friends was already a constant round of ventriloquism as he played the joker and pretended to be the same as everyone else. For Paul Monette was gay. |
