THE ARCHITECT, THE JEW, THE QUEER is a memoir of one man's lifetime of hiding and denial as a gay man, coming of age in the 1950s and 1960s, and the secret life he led until his breakdown in a therapist’s office at age fifty-two when he finally had to acknowledge the truth of who he was.
In this powerful and sexually explicit memoir, Nathan Leblang shares the insights of the boy who knew at five years old what attracted him, the angst of the man who could not avoid the power of gay sex even in the face of public humiliation, and the heart of the man in love with his straight best friend, a love that could never be consummated.
THE ARCHITECT, THE JEW, THE QUEER is a revealing and vulnerable remembrance of the twice-married man who kept trying to be something else. He confronts the conflicts of being an architect and serving the interests of developers in a time of climate crisis, the authority of religious institutions as the only path to the Divine, and the seduction of identity that establishes who is “us” and who is “them.”
Through two difficult divorces, financial catastrophe, painful awakenings, and starting all over again, the author arrives late in life at a hard-won self-acceptance, success, and finally, gratitude. Sex, career, religion, and self-acceptance are life themes which every reader can relate to.
