Itch

Uncovering my 30 lessons in 30 years

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Itch is a coming of age story, but it is so much more. My journey of both finding and accepting myself as a young, gay man was spiritually and emotionally difficult, but above all, it was lonely. Eventually, I came to realize that what I had been told my whole life about who I was and who I chose to love was wrong. I realized that I was in charge and I could make those decisions. I was inspired to tell my story when my homeland of Australia made it legal for everyone to marry whomever he or she loves. Itch was originally intended as a memoir to offer young people in the gay community a new perspective on life; an alternative to the current narrative. But in the writing, it became much more and I have seen my story resonate with anyone - regardless of sexual identity - who has struggled to embrace their own authentic self. It is my hope that my story continues to shines a light on the complexity of the LGBTQIA experience and the "itch" we all feel for more.

Autorenporträt

Luke Evans, like so many other young gay men in Australia, grew up believing he was different. Living in a culture formed through deeply engrained prejudicial views, he battled with loneliness and increased uncertainty, and believed that he didn't fit in the mold of what was 'right'. After spending years living and working abroad, exploring his identity, connecting with people from across global communities, and delving into his own spiritual truths, he has written his first full-length book at the pivotal age of 30. A coming of age story that uncovers his deepest lessons of authenticity, pays homage to those that came before him and yearns to be a beacon of hope and insight for people traversing their own paths.
