In his memoir, \u003ci\u003eOut of Step\u003c\/i\u003e, Anthony Moll tells the story of a working-class bisexual boy running off to join the army in the midst of two wars and the \"Don't Ask, Don't Tell\" era. Set against the backdrop of hypermasculinity and sexual secrecy, Moll weaves a queer coming-of-age story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOut of Step \u003c\/i\u003etraces Moll's development through his military service, recounting how the army both breaks and builds relationships, and what it was like to explore his queer identity while also coming to terms with his role in the nation's ugly foreign policy. From a punk, nerdy, left-leaning, poor boy in Nevada leaving home for the first time to an adult returning to civilian life and forced to address a world more complicated than he was raised to believe, Moll's journey isn't a classic flag-waving memoir or war story--it's a tale of finding one's identity in the face of war and changing ideals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Moll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mad Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814254820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018 pg. 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Moll is a Baltimore-based writer and educator.
