One of the reasons I enjoyed this book was that it reflected many of my own feelings about the nature of being gay in contemporary society. Well-written and intelligent, Bawer's book explores the experience of someone whose life as a homosexual is defined by more than his sexual orientation.

Bawer seems to want gays to join the mainstream - as though that's where we belong...I disagree, but can concede he's got a few good points.
