Smith brings a sensibility and a sensitivity that make this one of the most rewarding gay books of the year." --Lambda Book Report"Hilarious."--Entertainment Weekly."Emotionally powerful, obviously honest...a true heart and a very funny one as well." --San Francisco Chronicle"OPENLY BOB is a dazzlingly funny, semiautobiographical, hardcover one-man show."--Paper"Bob Smith is that rare phenomenon: a hilarious gentile. OPENLY BOB is his wickedly funny diary...Not only is this book entertaining and touching, but it also includes perhaps the finest Lucille Ball anecdote of our time." --Paul Rudnick<br>
