Tramps Like Us by Joe Westmoreland

Revived from the depths after 2 decades out of print, this joyous paean to youth melted my heart. Westmoreland`s work of autofiction is the unpretentious, wide-eyed story of a young, queer man coming of age in the 70`s and 80`s in New Orleans and San Francisco. This book nails the essential nature of young friendships and choosing one`s own family in a life where being marginalized is the norm. There is brutality here, but the vim (and the descriptions of the fabulous soundtrack of these characters` lives) wins the day.
