How I Learned to Snap: A Small-Town Coming-Out and Coming-of-Age Story (2001) --
Finalist 2002
ALA\GLBTRT Award for Nonfiction; Finalist, 2001
Lambda Literary Award
for
Autobiography/Memoir.
With bold Southern humor, journalist and performer Kirk Read takes
readers on a guided tour of his precocious and courageous adolescence.
Recalling his years as an openly gay high school student, Read describes
how he navigated the hallways with his sense of humor and dignity
intact. He fondly recalls his initiations into sex, drugs, and rock 'n'
roll, as well as his "shy as neon" acts of rabble rousing during high
school. How I Learned to Snap is a refreshingly victim-free story in
which queer teenagers are creative, resilient, and ultimately heroic.
