Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Comment: I came upon this book in the library with no prior knowledge of the book or the author. From page one I was captivated by Mark's life story and finished the book in 2 days. I'm surprised that it never received more recognition, as it has become one of my all-time favorites. It covers so many topics...religion, homosexuality, family relationships, love and loss...that anyone can relate to and identify with. Written with honesty and humor, I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Summary: Personal & Profound
Comment: I loved Mark's honesty. It wasn't just about being gay, or fatherless. It was about searching for identity, friendship and meaning. His superb writing and sense of humor made a serious story delightful to read.
Rating: 5
Summary: Terrific Memoir
Comment: Matousek's book crosses a lot of genres:gay/Jewish/writer's life/memoir and ends up being universal. He is also an excellent writer and some of the quotes from other writers (Pessoa,Kazin) are really thought-provoking. The book rises above the usual litany of abuse and self-pity endemic to many memoirs. This is the best memoir I've read since Paul Monette's Borrowed Time.
