Gay Man Talking: All the Conversations We Never Had

Great read

This guy knows what it is to be gay. Talented writing, recommend

Was very disappointed in this book if I’m honest, I had high hopes but as a gay man it did nothing for me. The way it is written seemed very generic, not very relatable, “conversations” that were had seemed scripted or pre planned, it didn’t feel genuine in any way. It would have been better if it included more stories from different people and their experiences as opposed to the author’s, who seemed to be very privileged in more ways than one…

A very emotive yet at times funny but at at all times honest book that touched me as a gay man as I could relate to so much of it,sometimes you wonder if you are the only person to have thoughts etc and it was great to read this book and realise you are notReally enjoyed the narrative and the writing and every gay man needs to read this

this book was everything I hoped it would be, it was certainly much more than it promised. I genuinely had a massive love for the author whilst reading, such a great book.We shouldn't overlook just how important this book is, and anyone and everyone should read this, it should stand pride of place in libraries and homes across the globe. If you have children/friends/loved ones in the LGBTQ community, read the book, learn, do better and be more.The community needs you.

An engaging, thoughtful and searingly honest memoir.

Gay Man Talking is an open and honest conversation that Dan Harding takes the reader on as he discusses his life, coming out to his family, with other topics such as body image that I believe many will relate to.The conversational tone throughout made this novel so easy to read and felt more like a discussion between friends than reading a book. There are a few interviews that he has added that open up conversations with his family and friends that I was amazed to read (mainly due to the fact that I myself would not be able to bring the topic up with my own family) and it was genuinely surprising to read their responses to his question about him being gay.This is a book that all queer people, gay men, in particular, should read. It's a book that straight people should read. Harding's openness was genuinely inspiring and made his words so much more impactful. This book is one that will help many realise that they are not alone.Not all gay/queer lives are the same, but Harding has still managed to make many of these essays relatable while also offering some funny and heartwarming moments throughout

This very accessible and conversational read was a pleasure- like chatting to a friend who has been through it all and wants to check you're okay.Although it seems at first that it is a lighthearted and lightweight book, it manages to pack in a great deal, ranging from shame and body image issues to relationships, coming out and self-acceptance. A book that I think many younger people, just finding themselves out, would enjoy.
