User reviews

LibraryThing member AlexTheHunn
These are humorous, sometimes poignantly so, tales of comic men's experiences as they faced the universal struggles of growing up, in addition to the efforts of discovering that they were gay. While clearly intended to be funny, these stories are also a source of strength.
