Fitting in is not belonging

Growing up, Loren Olson was always a good boy. Now he’s sick of it. Olson always did what was expected. To fit in, he partitioned off parts of himself that he believed were unacceptable. He felt isolated and alone.
As a young man, he was successful by every external measure. At age forty, he upended his life when he fell in love with another man and came out as gay.
Olson is a well-regarded essayist, a gifted storyteller,and the author of the award-winning book Finally Out: Letting Go of Living Straight.
In No More Neckties: A Memoir in Essays, he flings open the doors and reveals he wasn’t always a good boy. While not always noble and admirable, his stories show humanness to which everyone can relate:
  • Love and heartbreak
  • Cheating and forgiveness
  • Suicide and secrets
  • Men’s body image and sexuality
  • Being old and gay
In this book, Olson sends readers a message of hope and compassion, letting them know they are not alone in dealing with the hard stuff in their lives.

Review

"Loren Olson shares intensely personal essays in this memoir, and we are all the better for it.  The themes include infidelity, suicide, forgiveness, love, and sexuality. Although they are universal, they are rarely shared with honesty. Dr. Olson is a gifted storyteller, and we follow his engaging and informative tale from his small-town childhood to successful and authentic aging"
--William Dameron, author of the New York Times Editors' Pick, The Lie: A Memoir of Two Marriages, Catfishing & Coming Out
