This is the tell-all account of Vince Burke's exceptional life that rose from his father's abandonment. To escape anti-gay bias, he went undercover in his glamour careers as a newsman, a Madison Avenue adman, a Manhattan landlord. Now he's discovered a new emotion: forgiveness, and he offers letters of forgiveness for past prejudice. Burke exposes his adventures on enigmatic Fire Island. He admits to anti-social opinions. He lived everywhere: Greenwich Village, the Hamptons, Provincetown, the UK, in a 26-room chateau in the countryside of France. We meet magnificent people, and a few evil ones. Finally, Burke proclaims his life, \"86 years worth living.\" \"...engaging...poignant...worthy of acclaim.\" 4 of 4 stars-Online Book Club\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977244055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Vincent Burke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41352508506293,"sku":"9781977244055","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9b3d2b76-b432-4dce-9cc7-8b34844139fd.jpg?v=1637034341","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/forgiveness-a-gay-mans-memoir-9781977244055","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
