"My Year of Living Heterosexually: And Other Adventures in Hell"
By Ronald L. Donaghe
Review by Duane
Simolke
After reading and loving three of Ronald L. Donaghe's novels, I thought it would
be interesting to read this book about a year that changed his life. Donaghe's
autobiography reads like those novels, complete with vivid descriptions and
frequent dialogue. It also includes Donaghe's observations about homophobia,
gays in the military, and the attempts of some gays to "go straight."
Donaghe uses his experiences and those of the people around him to make those
observations. However, he does so without turning this fast-paced narrative into
an academic essay. I agree with the points that Donaghe makes, but even people
who disagree can benefit from and enjoy this fascinating document about one
man's experiences with marriage,
family, the military, self-loathing, and self-acceptance.
