My Trip Down the Pink Carpet

This was definitely a fun read. Little man, big character, voicing what's lost and gained in life through struggles of sexuality, drugs, sobriety and spirituality. Being a gay man myself, the only non-funny part about this read was my own life reflected. Not yet sober, still falling, but the gravity always gets lighter with each new edification. The last chapter of this book really struck home. No better way though, than to deliver our blunders in a light of comedy. I hope to be as strong as this man someday.

Thanks, Leslie.

I am one of the survivors of the same generation as Mr. Jordan, even though we are in different walks of life and living in very different communities. I'm impressed with the author's ability to tell a story from his life with such accuracy while being both moving and funny. I hope volume two is on the horizon.

Having known Leslie while he was growing up, I thoroughly enjoyed his book. I think anyone who is homophobic should read it and then they would realize what gays have to go through in life to be not only accepted in society, but to be at peace with themselves. Love you Leslie!! Gail

Leslie Jordan claims to be "the gayest man he knows". This story of his life is a delightfully entertaining tale of a petit gay man growing up in the Deep South. Jordan maintains that his family was "one social class above trailer trash", and had little understanding of how they could have "spawned" such a quick-witted, cynical and intelligent homosexual from their gene pool. Thank heaven Jordan has developed the ability to laugh at himself and his family of origin. Very humorous reading.

Hysterically funny and very honest! Leslie Jordan has done a fantastic job sharing his life with the world. If you were a fan of Beverly Leslie from "Will and Grace" you will love this book!!!!
