SODOMY GODS AUDIOBOOK
“From the moment I began writing Sodomy Gods, I always imagined these stories being heard as much as they were read. Narrating the audiobook allowed me to revisit each chapter through the lens of a listener, and not just a reader. It's deeply personal, and I hope people feel like we're sitting together, sharing these moments one conversation at a time, as they hear my story.” - David Lauterstein
AUDIO BOOK LAUNCH
Narrated by Lauterstein himself, the audiobook transforms the memoir into an intimate listening experience, capturing the rhythm, emotion, and honesty that have resonated with readers since the book's original release. Written with the cadence and lyricism of Lauterstein's background in poetry, the audiobook preserves the memoir's distinctive voice while adding an emotional immediacy only possible through audio. Produced by Chad Jack with consulting from GRAMMY-winning audiobook producer Aaron Blank, the audiobook was recorded between New York City and Fire Island Pines, two places that are central to Lauterstein's story.

Raw, provocative, and unflinchingly honest, Sodomy Gods is the coming-of-age story of David Lauterstein, a young gay man finding his way in the dizzying world of 1990s New York City. From coming out amidst the devastation of the AIDS crisis, to falling in love and launching the iconic queer fashion brand Nasty Pig, David’s journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and the revolutionary power of queer identity and community. His path takes readers across various subcultures, through moments of activist rage, and into today’s White House. The stories he shares comprise a time capsule of daunting challenges and unexpected triumphs.
