My Clothes Are Overcoming Me Dale William

"How can you really know anything when you don't know anyplace at all?" What would you do if you were a little, white gay man trapped in Montana, dying for attention, and trying desperately to fight conformity before drowning in your clothes? Would you marry that girl you took to the prom on a dare? Would you buckle under the pressure and become Mountain Man? Or would you expose yourself to the world and write it all down in an explosive, hysterical, and shocking novel? In My Clothes are Overcoming Me, Dale William blows off his Montanan, corn fed, country-music-lovin, good neighbor charm, and captures the not-so-charming life and mind of one man trying to survive himself, while surviving the suffocation of the life around him. Sounding off on his undeniable and unaccepted homosexuality, William details his life in Montana and his never-ending, bumbling struggle to get out, get acceptance, and get the perfect man. Armed with shots against the gay community, his home state, the Catholic Church, and himself, he paints a sometimes hysterical and heartbreaking picture of trying to accept reality while trying to change it all the same.
