What a Good Boy am I: a candid gay memoir in three acts

By Gary Michael Mattison

What a Good Boy am I by Gary Michael Mattison is an unflinchingly honest and heartfelt memoir that delves into the author's life journey, marked at times by seemingly insurmountable barriers. Central to the narrative is his contentious relationship with his strong-willed mother, whose unwavering adherence to Catholic doctrine instilled within him a deep-seated shame and guilt about his homosexuality. These factors contributed to his lifelong struggles with alcohol and bulimia and persistent tendency toward self-sabotage. Mattison is candid about all aspects of his life, yet he's careful not to be overly graphic when describing his sexuality and sexual experiences. His self-deprecating style and adroit sense of humor, accompanied by many photos throughout his life and clever uses of digital art, make this memoir an absorbing and satisfying read.
