4.0 out of 5 stars Tim Miller: Locate your place in time. 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As in his performances Miller reveals himself through his witty and urbane prose style. Here is someone who has seen alot and is willing to share it, warts and all. 'Shirts and Skins' takes us on a journey through the laundry basket of life from the train outfit which he wore as a child to the shirts which belong to his two boyfriends. He brings together the very funny with the very tragic, usually raising a smile en route to tears. His work is all about what it is to be gay at the end of the most frightening century the world has seen, but the book isn't just for gay men. This is a book which could be read by anyone but should be read by a few. It's a special book which shouldn't be read by masses and masses of people, but shared intimately by a few.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and sexy with profound impact 29 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I flew through this book. It was everything you would ever want it to be (you'll laugh, you'll cry, it's better than "Cats"). But, more than just being being entertaining, Miller forces queer men to examine their lives and our struggle. While laughing and crying (and fantasizing about the author) I really started to reexamine my queer politics, finding myself at a very different place than where I began. I am thankful for this opportunity to expand my thinking, and I hope everyone will read this book and begin challenging themselves in the same way I did.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Tim Miller's Shirts and Skin is a very sexy and funny romp through a bright and charming gay man's life in the twentieth century. This book paints a touching and meaningful portrait of his life as an artist, activist, and gay man. Essential reading, not just for gay men, but for everybody!
