Ted A. Richard reads from his book, "The 16th Second" for the Louisiana Words Tour at Cavalier House Books in Lafayette, LA. Get an up-close-and-personal look into the life of Ted A Richard - Author/Activist, who survived homophobia, addiction, abuse, and HIV/AIDS, in THE 16th SECOND: https://bit.ly/3VEpsLV. Why readers are raving: “THE 16TH SECOND is well worth reading for its portrayal of 40 tumultuous years in LGBTQ history, as told by a funny, flawed, and human man.” ~ IndieReader “The gay community has few elders because of the AIDS epidemic, and with this memoir, Richard steps into that role. He provides an insider's social history of gay men in the American South during the 1980s and 1990s. Though there are many solemn and heartbreaking moments, Richard also writes with great humor and cheer. The most delightful part of this book is the author's conversational tone. It reads like oral history, with chatty (and sometimes catty) asides throughout the narrative that bring the reader into his world. Photographs and newspaper clippings provide context and further insight into Richard's tales. With important lessons that can appeal to all, this memoir is a celebration of a life fully lived.” ~ Sarah Poulette, US Review of Books “This work is amplified by the book’s friendly and familiar tone: the book flaunts Richard’s endless charm to its benefit.” ~ Aimee Jodoin, Clarion Reviews for Foreword Reviews
