An intersectional masterpiece of race and sexuality, fact and fiction, memoir and polemic. The book that allowed a generation to make radicalism full of beauty and emotion

As always, Solomon gets into the far corners of things, including people’s minds… He’s also very sharp on South Africa, China, Libya, Romania, and Brexit Britain, among others. He’s an expert on turmoil.

I got so much out of that book and I know a lot of people have. It’s helping a lot of people. It’s a bible.

I’m about to read Straight Jacket for a second time. Brilliant, important, inspiring, brave.

An honest insight into LGBTQ life that everybody should be enlightened about regardless of sexuality.

This powerful book, I believe, will save lives. I’d like to see every gay man read this.

A superb book… Have read it twice now.

The book we should all be talking about.

Thank you for writing this book. It is a must read.

One of the best books we have ever read. Honest, thought provoking and much needed.

Finally started to read Straight Jacket. I’m already blown away. An incredibly honest and insightful read. Bravo Matthew.

This book should have been written a long time ago, but it wasn't...Everyone, no matter what their background, will benefit from reading this book. A much-needed and healing work of tough love, written with love.

A sensitive subject, brilliantly and intelligently handled.

An excoriating book, Straight Jacket: How to be Gay and Happy delves into contemporary gay culture to address a plethora of issues gay people continue to face in 2016.

Insightful, inclusive, clever and engaging
