This is a memoir that is hard to read, but one that must absolutely be read.” “The Inheritance of Shame is a profound journey to self-destruction, self-acceptance, and finally a reckoning with the dangers of shame and silence. His passionate writing makes the book not only an intriguing read but an important one in the literary and political realms.” “In a book that celebrates and embodies the power of the medium of writing in a pure way, Gajdics uses the written word to heal from trauma, to reconcile with his parents, to unearth their own suffering in WWII, and as an unforgettable call for compassion. “Raw and unflinching: a powerful argument against conversion therapy as well as the healing power of memoir.”
“Reflective but passionate, Gajdics takes the reader on an exploration beyond the what of his experience as a young, conflicted gay man and deeply into the chasm of his search to discover who he was. This exploration is a hero’s journey in which any reader, gay or straight, can find inspiration.”
