Openly Bob by Bob Smith

Growing up gay is, by now, familiar terrain -- the unrequited crushes, coming out to your friends and family, making your place in an overwhelmingly straight world. It has been the subject of countless books, magazine articles, and talk shows. But okay: you're out, you're proud . . . now what?

In Openly Bob, Bob Smith offers his own original, whine-free perspective on being grown up and gay. From bringing your boyfriend home to your father's funeral, to being the only gay couple at a family wedding, to surviving couples counseling, Smith's unique point of view on the very ordinary events of our lives resonates with keen observation and hilarious truth.

Sex education, meteor showers, lesbian ventriloquist dummies, flea-market shopping, body piercing, pot-smoking drag queens, environmental correctness, Judgment Day, Samuel Beckett, Newt Gingrich, Coco Chanel, Sigmund Freudnothing and no one has been spared Bob Smith's incisive eye in this very human collection of comic essaysfrom a writer who knows how to serve up a truly fresh slice of American pie.
