Every twenty-five years, financial writer Andrew Tobias takes a break to tell us about his sex life. Ah, but what a difference twenty-five years makes. Last time, he had to do it under a pen name. This time, he not only uses his real one but, in telling his own happy story, shows readers both straight and gay how far America has come on an issue that touches almost everyone.What hasn't changed is Tobias's sense of humor and gift for telling stories. Here, they range from the personal (tales of heartbreak and love) to the public (such as coming out to the president of the United States and a crowd of eight hundred at a time when it was less fashionable to do so). Although Tobias's own story mirrors the evolution of the gay rights movement, this is a memoir of universal appeal, a tale of growing from insecurity to love to commitment. It is told with the same mixture of candor, charm, and perceptiveness that made The Best Little Boy in the World one of the most enduring memoirs of a generation. Media >, [PU: Random House]<
