Acerca de esta escucha

 Jamie Goldberg suspects his homosexuality at an early age and manages to hide it from his homophobic ’80’s Detroit Community; his Jewish political activist parents; and even from himself until his rape, at the hands of a male prostitute, at the age of 15, which seems to hint at some mysterious background even darker. Profoundly ashamed, Jamie hides in two worlds one is a beautiful cocoon spun from music, art, theater and literature, another is darker with a sado-masochistic desire to obliterate his sexuality. His elaborate fantasies are no match for real life or his true affections, which blossom in spite of his constant attempts to thwart them. When his carefully constructed imaginary world begins to crumble, Jamie must face his demons, both real and invented, discovering in the end that personal discovery comes at a very high price.

A word about the series: The Goldberg Variations, complete is meant to appeal and also provoke the LGBT, Jewish, Midwestern, Liberal, and the Arts-loving communities and is particularly relevant to a new generation of gender and sexuality related options. The series follows Jamie Goldberg from elementary school to college, as he grows from an abused boy into a self- possessed young man.

Critical praise for volume 1: "
“The Rites of Passage is like encountering a gay Portnoy’s Complaint in its distinctive blend of Jewish-ness, sex, moral panic, and maternal dominance." Seven time Emmy award winning writer Patrick Mulcahey of The Bold and the Beautiful.

"Taylor tells the story from Jamie’s perspective in a polished prose enlivened with the protagonist’s neurotic humor ... Jamie is thoughtful and highly sympathetic, and readers will be happy to follow him through the formative years of his youth. Taylor succeeds in capturing various moments (however painful or awkward) and revealing their importance.” —Kirkus Review

“When I read the searing tale of Jamie’s journey from childhood through adolescence and young adulthood, I lived it as if it were my own. It chronicles his anguish as he finds himself on the outside, increasingly isolated from family, school and college, his coming to terms with transgressive fantasies and his authentic self …” Kunal Mukherjee, author of My Magical Palace

“Reading The Rites of Passage reminded me of the fragile time in one’s youth when one may or may not mistakenly believe that all information is somehow related to one’s self. So, rather irrationally and hilariously, I started to assume the book was about me …” Rene Capone, gay figure painter and author of many graphic novels including The Legend of Hedgehog Boy

"His life is a symphony of pain, humor, filth, and beauty as he struggles to come to terms with his identity in homophobic America.” Foreward Reviews
