[ 4.0 stars ] "Able Was I begins by introducing us to Grey Tigrett, an American college student tooling around Italy for a summer before graduation. On the island of Elba (yes, Napoleon's Elba) Grey, who came to the island with a longtime girlfriend, has a brief but significant amorous encounter with an Italian man named Antonio.The narrative then skips ahead 14 years, where we find Grey in New York, with al ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "I had a hard time believing that this was Drew Banks' first piece of fiction. Such a great book - well written, thought provoking, engaging. So many books whose main characters are gay dwell on that as each character's main defining them (i.e., the "coming out" story); though this is certainly not a flaw in the other books, it's just not the case with Able Was I.

[ 5.0 stars ] "I just finished Able Was I and I did not want it to end. I was totally hooked into it. The writing is masterful at creating the experience inside you as you read it.

[ 5.0 stars ] "This beautiful book is so evocative and beautifully written that I wished it were several hundred pages longer. Not a classical gay novel (which is a good thing), the characters are developed deeply and there is no one that cannot identify with a specific personality or situation. Truly a well-written and deeply moving book. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "The book has wonderful characters and tells an interesting, even compelling, story. The transitions from present to past are sometimes confusing, but I like the the way you gradually got to know the characters through this device. The movement from dream to reality and back helped to define the main character who seemed never to know whether he was actually living or just dreaming. ..." Courtesy by Amazon
