"Out of the Shadows: Reimagining Gay Men's Lives," excerpt of a review by Marcus Field at the London Evening Standard:
"I’m a gay man in my early 50s and I can now see that I’ve used many of the survival tactics that Odets describes. This book has made me wonder how I might sound and feel if I did some work to uncover the character that was bullied out of me. I have previously resisted therapy but Odets’s warm and lyrical voice, his inspiring picture of how imaginative gay life can be, has sent me queuing for the couch."
