The groundbreaking work on being homosexual in America--available again only from Penguin Classics and with a new foreword by Dan Savage

Originally published in 1971, Merle Miller's On Being Different is a pioneering and thought-provoking book about being homosexual in the United States. Just two years after the Stonewall riots, Miller wrote a poignant essay for the New York Times Magazine entitled What It Means To Be a Homosexual in response to a homophobic article published in Harper's Magazine. Described as the most widely read and discussed essay of the decade, it carried the seed that would blossom into On Being Different--one of the earliest memoirs to affirm the importance of coming out.
