'A gay man could read this book as if his life depended on it - and
perhaps it does' Andrew Holleran, author of Dancer from the
DanceEven in our modern progressive world, it's not easy to be a
gay man. While young men often come out more readily, even those
from the most liberal of backgrounds still struggle to accept
themselves and experience stigma, shame and difficulties with
intimate relationships. They also suffer from ongoing trauma
wrought by the AIDS epidemic, something that is all too often
relegated to history.Drawing on a lifetime's work as a clinical
psychologist, Walt Odets uses the stories of his patients as well
as those of his own deep relationships with other gay men to
illuminate how these difficulties may be overcome. From a
74-year-old who only felt able to come out after his wife had died,
to the boy raised in a strict religious family who worked his way
to San Francisco, to the middle-aged defence lawyer who left
everything behind to embrace a new life, the experiences here
explore everything from grief to survival, childhood pain to the
definition of gay itself. Out of the Shadows shows us how a new way
forward is possible through learning to accept ourselves and others
as they are, and independently inventing our own lives.
