In this se 'Gay' substutg 'Pray' do mark one of the book's strengths, and ironilly one of s weakns as well. Of urse, the gay ntext was the ma reason I bought this book, and while I enjoyed learng about Berl's gay unrground clubs etc., the gay partyg is lackg the pth that the spirual aspect of 'Eat, Pray, Love' did provi.

DAVID MCKENZIE'S REVIEWS > EAT, GAY, LOVE
Its not an -pth exploratn or narrative of LGBT+ people and some of the issu they face travellg or a cultural exploratn of LGBT+ issu and liv but is an dividual memoir that looks at the experienc of travel through the ey of a young gay man. Addnally, I also felt that the typil ton and problems faced by the queer muny are almost forced to the storyle eg: g out, isolatn, gay rights, nartic abe, SA. There is a Trigger Warng bee this book do al wh heavy topics like sexual asslt, overdose, suici, and homophobia.

This memoir is a rellectn of his travels and what each of them meant to him as a young gay man. Italy is still very nservative, as proven by the populary of populism parti that navigate sexism, homophobia and racism.
The sual homophobia is rampant there. Eat, Gay, Love: A Memoir.
