When it comes to ‘self-help’ books, Dr Downs has managed to create something special in ‘The Velvet Rage’ a book that can truly impact and change the lives of countless gay men while also being an engaging and touching body of work. I often found myself going back over certain passages due to the beautifully poetic feel of the writing, allowing both the meaning to resonate with me as well as the feelings and thoughts that came up as a result.
There is something about The Velvet Rage that feels almost as though Alan Downs is sitting down to an intimate chat with you, exploring the seemingly common themes amongst gay men’s lives that are influenced and often impacted from the effects of toxic shame and inauthenticity.
