Satirical memoir of life as a gay man through the 1960's to 2015. Brutally honest and frank, the memoir is laced with humor, sex and a pointedly philosophical viewpoint that the world may be frozen in an endless loop of Lovecraftian design since 1968.As a memoir to myself, being written in second person, In Medias Res, opens with my diagnosis of my being HIV] in 1992, and continues in a non-linear fashion through various time periods of difficulty and triumph; touching on everything from being born with an undescended testicle, kissing boys, kissing girls, arguing with Yahweh and his ilk, surviving High School, experiencing the epiphany of a college education, fantastic travel-adventures with friends, looking for love, being crushed by love, abandonment, panic attacks, and dealing with life-long friendships gone awry. All of this is dealt with a casual sense of sarcastic humor that saves the horrors of cancer, death and anger from rising as overall the tone of the memoir. Humor and the march of time are the balm that heals all the wounds found in In Medias Res. I found it inherently necessary to write the work with a full set of Footnotes that appear on the very page they refer to, as a way of encompassing the greater aspects of the narrative, without destroying it out right. I find that a full Table of Contents and Index add greatly to the overall approachability of the work.
