Recenzii

“An honest and highly personal, if unfashionable, perspective on sexuality, race, and identity. . . . It is undoubtedly worth reading, both for the inherently interesting tale it relates and for Tuan’s willingness to risk self-exposure.”—Benjamin Forest, Cultural Geographies

“[Tuan] unfolds his life, friendships, environment, and emotions in a unique manner that not only makes reading this book quite interesting but also encourages readers to look at human life and society from a different perspective.”—Suping Lu, Multicultural Review
