Late Bloomer Baby Boomer by Steve Milliken
Whether teaching in the
urban ghetto or navigating the gay ghetto, newly published, first-time author
Steve Milliken naively finds the funny while chipping away at the challenging
and tricky complexities of the lifelong, coming out process.
A Southern California native, his wide-ranging
essays include such “universal” topics as concealing your inner sissy in the
60s, tossing Cobb salads for the stars in the mid-70s while working at the
Brown Derby Restaurant in Beverly Hills, supplying outlandish driver advice to
people who thought they had called the Department of Motor Vehicles, piloting
the proper parameters of profanity in the workplace, and even how to become a
high school English teacher in the new millennium.
His experiential essay titles include “Sober
Porn,” “My Colonoscopy Eve,” “My Rocky Horror Virginity Show,” “Getting the
Balls to Become a Better Reader,” and of course, “Bitch Ass Snitch,” but not
necessarily in that order….
This book is for anyone who is gay, knows
someone who is gay, or “straight” guys who’ve had a gay experience, like
wearing a belt that matches his shoes.
