The Lost Autobiography of Samuel Steward: Recollections of an Extraordinary Twentieth-Century Gay Life by Jeremy Mulderig, Scott Herring, Samuel M. Steward
3.0
*3.5 stars*
Read this for my Queer Literature class, and it was endless fascinating, entertaining and at many points within his narration, hilarious. I also think his experiences are very enlightening in aspects such as queer regionalism, and the ways in which he does and doesn’t ascribe to the “standard gay white man” queer experience. Didn’t necessarily have much personal effect for me, unlike “Fun Home”, but definitely glad to have known more about this incredibly interesting man.
