When I Knew is a collection of smart, hilarious, and often
poignant stories about that revelation for all gay men and
women: when they first knew. In this gorgeously
illustrated, cleverly designed, and colorful book,
acclaimed fashion and celeb-rity photographer Robert
Trachtenberg brings humor and style to the EUREKA! moments
of more than eighty contributors, including B. D. Wong,
Arthur Laurents, Simon Doonan, Stephen Fry, Marc Shaiman,
Michael Musto, and more. Also mixed in are tales about when
parents knew and when everyone else knew, as well as laugh-
out-loud coming-out stories. Readers will fall in love with these anecdotes, from the
seven-year-old who looked under the television set to sneak
a peek under Tarzan's loincloth, to the inquisitive
grandmother who asked her grandson, "You don't like a girl
to get married? You prefer a boy?", to the courageous field
trip participant who passed up the universal favorite
burger-and-fry combo in favor of the fruit plate with
cottage cheese. Filled with original art by New Yorker illustrator Tom
Bachtell, historical images, and personal photographs from
the contributors, When I Knew is a vibrant and witty
celebration of that sometimes glorious, sometimes painful,
but always captivating moment when everything suddenly
makes sense.
