"Bear Bergman writes circles around most people - circles that enclose so many identities, and so much insight about all of them, that you're bound to see some of your own selves newly, and beautifully, reflected there."
-Carol Queen
author of Real Live Nude Girl
"Life having the unpredictable crossroads it does, I've often wondered how memoirists handle the problem of writing a second book. Thanks to Bear Bergman's The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You, I know the answer: one goes about it with good-humored smarts, candid humility, and a queer and delightful generosity of spirit."
-Hanne Blank
author of Virgin: The Untouched History
"If we could just clone Bergman's brain and manners, the world would be a much better place, indeed. This new collection of meditations, essays, and stories about living visibly queer is complex in beautifully simple ways."
-Helen Boyd
author of My Husband Betty
"Bear Bergman is an endearing, gallant, sexy fellow, the queer world's daddy, brother, and son. In Nearest Exit, he's writing it all down for us, today's transgender experience. This is a landmark book for both queer theory and literature, written by an accomplished teller of tales. It's a book that will be cherished by generations of queer youth and adults alike. My heart overflows the brim with love and pride when I read his words."
-Kate Bornstein
author of Hello, Cruel World
"It is rare that I pick up a book and see my life reflected in the words inside it. Bear Bergman has written parts of my life down for me to look at from another direction - a funny, compassionate, nimble-tongued and Jewish direction. I want to give a copy of this book to everyone in my family, with love."
-Ivan E. Coyote
author of The Slow Fix
