Odd Man Out: An Autobiography

Jeff Commings

Jeff Commings was the first African-American to win a gold medal in swimming at the Olympic Festival, but he spent all of his teenage years and young adulthood afraid to live openly as a gay man. Heartbreaking and funny, Odd Man Out is an uncompromising tale of the courage, perseverance, talent and friendships that help bring out the best in you.

Citizen, Invert, Queer: Lesbianism & War in Early 20th Century Britain
