My Trip Down the Pink Carpet

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!!!!

Leslie Jordan's book is absolutely hilarious and so very affirming for the glbt community. A great read!

If you read My Trip Down the Pink Carpet searching for great literature, you will be disappointed. It falls into the category of light summer reading. But it is a really fun frolic through the mind of Leslie Jordan. You can quite literally hear his voice throughout the book. He also touches deeply on themes that touch the gay community, especially as we boomers age. He does so with compassion and humor which make this a delightful light read.
