Summary:
The classic account of growing up gay in America. "The best little boy in the world never had wet dreams or masturbated; he always topped his class, honored mom and dad, deferred to elders and excelled in sports ... The best little boy in the world was ... the model IBM exec ... The best little boy in the world was a closet case who 'never read anything about homosexuality.' ... John Reid comes out slowly, hilariously, brilliantly. One reads this utterly honest account with the shock of recognition."
