Cures

This is the tenth anniversary edition of Cures: A Gay Man''s Odyssey Martin Duberman''s classic memoir of growing up gay in pre-Stonewall America. The tale of his desperate struggle to “cure” himself of his homosexuality through psychotherapy is utterly frank and deeply moving. But Cures is more than one man''s story; it''s the vivid witty account of a generation of changing times shifting social attitudes and the rising tide of protest against received wisdom. For this tenth anniversary edition Duberman has written a substantial new afterword that updates both his personal history and the ongoing struggle for a more just society.
