A review by lclindley
High-Risk Homosexual by Edgar Gomez

5.0

What a beautiful memoir this. I found it bewildering, shocking, and illuminating all at once. Gomez' voice is incredible and uniquely his, but also uniquely his are descriptions of the inner workings of a highly anxious brain. Thought patterns that I wouldn't even imagine to exist. It is somewhat heartbreaking to realize so acutely the noise that so many live with in their head. I have never shared that and I don't know that I've ever read a book that quite so perfectly places it on the page. A stand out debut memoir from a beautiful voice. Highly recommend.
