![]() ![]() Steve told Barbara he was bisexual, and she thought it was great. It feels like the two of them are writing the book together, and it’s beautiful.Īlysia’s parents (Steve and Barbara) met in 1968 at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. This is her story, but she has her father’s words to fill in parts she doesn’t remember, as well as being able to get his side of the story for what she does remember. ![]() After her father died, she read through his massive collection of journals and created a beautiful work. ![]() I like memoirs because it’s interesting to see what you have in common with a person and how you relate to them even if their story is completely different than yours.Īlysia Abbott’s story is extra completely different than mine, but of course I still found lots to relate to. I didn’t know anything about Alysia Abbott or her father Steve and was interested to learn more about growing up in the heart of the gay scene in San Francisco in the 70s and 80s. Then I learned it was about THE GAYS!!! and read the blurb and decided it sounded interesting. Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father caught my eye because I thought it was about fairy tale faeries. ![]()
