The Full Spectrum: A New Generation of Writing About Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Other Identities di David Levithan (Editor) (2006)
This is a collection of short stories, essays, and poems written by LGBTQ young adults about their experiences. It covers everything from romance, coming out, finding their identities, and just living their day to day lives. The reading is sometimes powerful, sometimes emotional, sometimes painful or joyful, and always very honest. This book would be excellent for young LGBTQ people to learn of other people having experiences similar to theirs, to show them that they are not alone. It would be excellent for anyone as a window into lifestyles that are not well understood by many people outside of it. ( )
I really enjoyed this collection despite the fact that it was emotionally painful to read at times. I thought it did a really good job of presenting the experiences of gay and lesbian youth. The use of multiple authors rather than simply the experiences of one person makes the book a lot more universal than it would be other wise. Memoir-anthology hybrids can either be tedious to read or engaging. This one, I couldn't put down. ( )
I feel like this book may have been published more for the writers than for readers. It was obvious from the emotional contributions that each writer was passionate about sharing his or her story. However, some of the writers' tale were exceptionally tough to read, not because of the writing, but because of the content. I went into reading the text with expectations and this was certainly my mistake. Rather than reading about uplifting tales of success, I found this text depressing. While it wasn't my favorite book, I think it was an important read though as all current and future educators should be aware that the troubles of the contributing authors are indeed very real challenges that any of our students may be facing. ( )
Levithan's collection illuminates a lot of the challenges faced by GLBTQ youth as they strive to find themselves in an often unaccepting world. Some people's stories are heartbreaking while others seem to have an easier time. Some of the writings are artfully done. Perhaps these are contributions from budding writers of the future. The only problem I have with this collection is that it is often depressing. I agree with the suggestion made in class that this collection would work better if combined with the website itgetsbetter.org. ( )
