Title: Growing Up Gay/Growing Up Lesbian: A Literary Anthology by Bennett L. Singer ISBN: 1565841034 Publisher: New Press Pub. Date: June, 1994 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $9.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.6
Rating: 3
Summary: Almost, but not quite....
Comment: This was good, but not really what I expected to get. The selections are all well chosen, but after reading each of the excerpts I wanted to read more. Maybe that's the purpose. However, I felt like this anthology is just the tip of the iceberg concerning gay/lesbian literature about growing up. Overall--a good summary, but if you're looking for something more in-depth, try reading something else.
Rating: 5
Summary: Worth Reading
Comment: I first bought this book about a week after I had come out to my closest friends. I found this book to be a lifeline. I finally felt like I wasn't alone, I wasn't the only one. The book, however, left me with one complaint, that it ended! The stories touch you in a way that is so deeply personal. I found myself identifying with the characters. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone, gay, straight, questioning, whatever. It is worth reading!
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent--I highly recommend it for gay & straight alike
Comment: The book contains 4 sections and an appendix filled with helpful references.
All bases are covered in this book, with essays, short stories, journal excerpts, letters and poetry. The entries date from the time of Radclyffe Hall's Well of Loneliness and Quentin Crisp's The Naked Civil Servant, up to the 1990's when a brave young man took a male date to his high school senior prom.
Areas covered include self-discovery, friendships and relationships, dealing with one's family, and facing the world.
The entries are well-written and from the heart. I was touched by all of them.
I also feel this book definitely shines the positive light of progress on the lesbian, bi-sexual & gay movement.
