Praise for Jonathan Cohen’s

Bear Like Me

“A fast-moving, hilarious story of a gay man trying to negotiate a world brand new to him in a story rich in comic stereotypes of conniving, lying and greedy media moguls, vacuous twinks, bitter but righteous feminists, and a glorious parade of bruins that demonstrate that even within the gay bear ghetto that passes for a north woods forest, there is still both incredible sweetness and vile betrayal. Bear Like Me is a definite page-turner and a quick read to boot. Moreover, Cohen’s novel, while fiction, is never-the-less fascinating in its spot-on depiction of the world culture of bears that make up a part of the larger gay community.”

— Jerry Flack, reviewer, Independent Gay Writer

“Bears will have a good time reading Bear Like Me; and non-bears will probably wish they were bears so that they could join in the fun.”

— Jesse Monteagudo, reviewer, Gay Today
