Praise for The Tricky Part:
“The Tricky Part is a beautiful book. Martin Moran is a graceful, witty, perceptive writer, remarkably brave, free of self-pity – his spirit, manifest on every page, is discerning and generous to the point of radiance. He’s a scrupulous and precise rememberer and explorer, and because he refuses simplification for the sake of judgment and yet insists on the necessity of rendering judgment, The Tricky Part is fully human, unsettling and wise.” – Tony Kushner, author of Angels in America

“A tender, searingly honest and heartbreaking account of the legacy of sexual violation. Moran bravely unveils the tricky part: The paradoxical worlds of longing and shame, the erotic and the reviled, the profane and the sacred all living in one act, one man, one life. Gorgeously written, the book is a divine literary and spiritual exorcism. I am better for it.” – Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues
