Missed Connections
An entertaining and moving memoir about coming out, looking inwards, and the search for connection, inspired by the responses to a personal ad.In 1992, Brian Francis placed a personal ad in a local newspaper. He received twenty-five responses, but there were thirteen letters that went unanswered and spent years tucked away, forgotten, inside a cardboard box. He was a twenty-one-year-old university student, still very much in the closet, and looking for love.
Using the letters as a springboard to reflect on all that has changed for him as a gay man over the past three decades, Brian's responses cover a range of topics, including body image, aging, desire, the price of secrecy, and the courage it takes to be unapologetically yourself.Missed Now, nearly thirty years later, and at a much different stage in his life, Brian has written replies to those letters.
