Synopsis "I'm Still Working on It: A gay veteran's story of overcoming hurt, loss, and PTSD, or at least trying to, anyway. (in English)"
A gay veteran, after serving in the U.S. Navy for eleven years, returns to the civilian world with a determination to overcome the traumas of his past - sexual assault, bouts of alcoholism, the death of his father, his brother's suicide - while adjusting to a new life out of uniform. With humor and the help of his loving, hysterical, and "sometimes" dysfunctional family, he'll clear the hurdle of PTSD and get back to happy, or at least try to, anyway. "Kevin is able to capture so much life and personality in his writing, you feel like you know every character in this very intimate story of pain and loss. Humor abounds, in the way only Kevin can relay. Family, love, tragedy, coping...you feel every loss and every laugh. I recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially one who's ever experienced the trauma of losing a loved one." "There were portions where I laughed out loud. There were sections that caused the tears to flow freely. Kevin Zalinsky has a writing style that will keep you captivated. I found it difficult to put the book down." "For a book that covers such heavy and gut-wrenching topics as alcoholism, coming of age (and coming out), cancer, and suicide, I can't believe I laughed as often as I did. This [is a] collection of tales...some hilarious and some heart-wrenching...told from the perspective of someone who realizes we are all 'still working on it.'" "The themes of love, loss, family, and coping are presented with such engaging similes and humor, you can't help wanting to be a part of Kevin's journey." "This book is one of triumph...a story of a kid growing up and finding himself and getting knocked down...but being able to continue [getting up] while seeing the humor along the way."
