Struggling to be or at least to imitate a straight man, through Ivy League halls of privilege and bohemian travels abroad, loveless intimacy, and unrequited passion, Paul Monette was haunted, and finally saved, by a dream-The thing Id never even seen: two men in love and laughing. This searingly honest, witty, and humane merging of memoir and manifesto has become the definitive coming out story-and a classic of the coming-of-age genre. It was awarded the 1992 National Book Award for nonfiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526226805024,"sku":"NEW0060595647","price":14.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81Q5xZ9nM6L.jpg?v=1779210756","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/becoming-man-perennial-classics-0060595647","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
