Description: Originally published in 1971, Merle Miller's On Being Different is a pioneering and thought - provoking book about being homosexual in the United States. Just two years after the Stonewall riots Miller wrote a poignant essay for the New York Times Magazine entitled " What It Means To Be a Homosexual" in response to a homophobic article published in Harper's Magazine. Described as "the most widely read and discussed essay of the decade " the article was developed into the remarkable short book On Being Different - one of the earliest memoirs to affirm the importance of coming out. Merle Miller (1919 - 1986) was an editor at Harper's Magazine Time and The Nation and was the bestselling author of several books including the novel A Gay and Melancholy Sound and Plain Speaking a biography of Harrys Truman.
