Bear Like Me

By: Jonathan Cohen
2003
204 pages

ISBN: 1560234180

Review:
Fired from his job at the slick gay lifestyle magazine, Phag, Peter Mallory has to find a way to make a living. When his best friend suggests writing a book about the bear community, Peter is skeptical. But as soon as he realizes that with a new “bear” look he can go undercover at his old job and get his revenge, Peter is letting his body hair grow out and practicing the fine art of flannel couture. But of course, things are about to get hairy. When Peter’s sabotage campaign works almost too well, he starts to run the risk of discovery. And when an intriguing bear steals his heart, Peter realizes that his double life could end very badly. Where else could the story conclude but at the annual global bear meeting in San Francisco? With an envious fellow bear set to unmask Peter as a fraud, and his old magazine about to announce new plans for market domination, what can Peter do? If you answered “strap on a leather jockstrap, participate in a bear beauty pageant, and almost die in an elevator crash,” you’re getting close. Peter Mallory is in for the ride of his life!
