    • Classic Literary Memoir
    • I've just finished reading Christopher Isherwood's beautiful little memoir of the years 1929 to 1939, Christopher and His Kind. The personalities that Isherwood surrounded himself with, both little...

    • Interesting but I'm a little suspect
    • Great story, for the most part but the writing is choppy and there are leaps of faith the reader has to take in order to make sense of the story and Arenas' choices. Gay or not, he is a sexual pig...

    • okay, I'm the spoiler
    • As a gay preacher's kid (fundamentalist) from the same geography (rural N.C.), I have to say I found Jenning's story to be irritatingly self-indulgent. I know many gay people who suffered a great...

    • Sadly, the people who most need this won't ever read it.
    • I ended up reading Savage's books in reverse order (I'm sure Savage would complain that to me, marriage should always come before a child), but it really doesn't matter. Savage's account of the...

    • Possibly a permanent setback to other potential gay adoptive parents
