Random House presents the audio edition of Straight Jacket, written and read by Matthew Todd.

Winner Boyz best LGBT book 2017

Short-listed for the Polari book prize 2017

Straight Jacket is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community and their friends and family. Part memoir, part groundbreaking polemic, it looks beneath the shiny facade of contemporary gay culture and asks if gay people are as happy as they could be - and if not, why not?

Meticulously researched, courageous and life-affirming, Straight Jacket offers invaluable practical advice on how to overcome a range of difficult issues. It also recognises that this is a watershed moment, a piercing wake-up call to arms for the gay and wider community to acknowledge the importance of supporting all young people - and helping older people to transform their experience and finally get the lives they really want.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is an essential read for every gay person on the planet." (Elton John)

Falls short of expectations

Part one and part two are well worth listening to with interesing observations on importent issues.

Then in part three the book falls off the cliff. The author is out of his depth when he starts talking about "Recovery", and makes statements where he uses language like "you must" and "you should" on subjects where he is clearly not qualified to offer advice.

A must read for all Gay people

I should have read this years ago. Life changing insight into the struggles all gay people can relate to
