Inhalt
Sessums, a journalist who specializes in celebrity interviews, describes and analyzes his own childhood and youth, writing of both sexual orientation and race relations in the '60s and early '70s. As a toddler, he swished and posed instead of responding to his basketball coach father's expectation of masculinity. However, both parents were dead by the time he was 9, and he and two siblings were reared by their maternal grandparents. Small-town Mississippi at that time was less hostile to the young gay boy than outsiders might imagine. Sessums recalls his grandmother's willingness to call him Arlene. There was even a local gay bar, which Sessums began visiting at 16. However, life provided great and certain bad times as well: the author recalls a sexual assault by a stranger when he was not yet a teen, and another by a preacher years later.
