Free Body, Remember: A Memoir (Living Out: Gay And Lesbian Autobiographies) Ebooks To Download
In this poetic, introspective memoir, Kenny Fries illustrates his intersecting identities as gay, Jewish, and disabled. While learning about the history of his body through medical records and his physical scars, Fries discovers just how deeply the memories and psychic scars run. As he reflects on his relationships with his family, his compassionate doctor, the brother who resented his disability, and the men who taught him to love, he confronts the challenges of his life. Body, Remember is a story about connection, a redemptive and passionate testimony to one man’s search for the sources of identity and difference.

Kenny Fries says what he needs to without being dramatic and there is no subtle "pity me" to his memoir. He is honest without being brutal and allows those with whom he retains differences to maintain their dignity. He helped me to view my own disability as an opportunity and for this I am grateful.
Not a false note in this book. Takes the reader on a journey from sympathy to admiration. Helped me face some lesser challenges.
This book started out reading like poetry--but as I read I got lost in the muddle that was the life of the author. I really thought this book would be good--but I couldn't bring myself to finish it. As I read further I remember that I had begun this book some time ago and didn't finish it then either. BAH!
