Firebird: A Memoirby Mark Doty
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Beautifully written, hallucinatorily evocative memoir of growing up gay in baby-boom America. Four stars."(--Newsweek) Review:"Incandescent. . . .a lasting work of art."(--Time Out) Review:"A lyrical, heartfelt and ultimately haunting account of his early years. It is a pleasure to read a memoir that eschews the outsized dramas of recent confessional volumes. . . .Firebird convincingly evokes the isolation and cruelty of childhood, the potent blend of torment and pride experienced by those who sense, from an early age, that they are different."(--Washington Post Book World) Review:"Supple, powerful reading. . . .[Doty] immerses his readers--at first in a leisurely manner, then with gathering intensity--in a gay coming of age complicated by complete family meltdown."(--New York Times Book Review) Review:". . .It is not so much Doty's experiences that elevate Firebird. It is the extraordinary lilt of his words, each chosen with great care, which make even ordinary moments. . .become fresh and indelible."(--Ft,. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel) Review:"Doty writes with the characteristic Zen-calm you find also in his gorgeous poetry."(--Los Angeles Times Book Review) What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
