What a Good Boy am I

What a Good Boy am I by Gary Michael Mattison is an unflinchingly honest and heartfelt memoir that delves into the author's life journey, marked at times by seemingly insurmountable barriers. Central to the narrative is his contentious relationship with his strong-willed mother, whose unwavering adherence to Catholic doctrine instilled within him a deep-seated shame and guilt about his homosexuality. These factors contributed to his lifelong struggles with alcohol and bulimia and persistent tendency toward self-sabotage.

What a Good Boy am I

Mattison’s memoir is extremely entertaining; he captures conversations and events that make you feel like you are in the room with him as they are happening. And his self-deprecating humor takes you on his emotional roller coaster called real life.

Mattison recalls memories of his youth with stunning clarity, and having been friends with him in high school and college, he vividly recaptures events of this time as if they happened yesterday. I could not put this memoir down.

Mattison is forthright in revealing the highs and lows of his life, and always with honesty and a fine sense of humor. An enjoyable read, to be sure.

I have to say, it’s a deeply compelling and inspiring work. The way the author candidly his your journey of self-discovery, resilience, and acceptance creates a narrative that is relatable, powerful, and undeniably moving.

His self-deprecating style and adroit sense of humor, accompanied by many photos throughout his life and clever uses of digital art, make this memoir an absorbing and satisfying read.
