Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story by Paul Monette

5.0

"Becoming a Man" is a very touching autobiography in which the author tells the story of his youth and deep-seated struggle with his gay identity up until the point of his self-acceptance in the 70s. Monette seems almost brutally honest and self-critical at times, but as a reader, this is very appreciated and I truly liked reading this book, even if it was very hard at times. I definitely also want to check out the author's other (fiction and non-fiction) books.
