About this listen

Discover a deeply personal, powerful memoir that unveils the untold story of a unique friendship and its profound impact on two lives. Gunther Allen’s Pushed Out of the Closet Without a Parachute, published by Audiobook Publishing Services and narrated by the author himself, takes listeners on an unforgettable journey through the glittering yet secretive world of 1980s Hollywood.

Set against a backdrop of fame, secrecy, and societal stigma, Gunther Allen recounts his life-changing bond with the legendary Rock Hudson. A chance meeting propels Gunther into Hudson’s inner circle, where he performs at the star’s exclusive parties and forges a connection that would test the limits of trust, loyalty, and authenticity.

This audiobook offers unparalleled insight into Rock Hudson’s private struggles, including his devastating AIDS diagnosis—a secret he kept hidden from both his partner, Marc Christian, and Gunther Allen. The revelation thrusts Gunther into an intricate web of deception, as Marc Christian manipulates their shared grief for personal gain. Through Gunther’s eyes, listeners gain a rare glimpse into Hudson’s life as he navigated the harsh realities of maintaining a public persona while privately battling unimaginable challenges.

Narrated by Gunther Allen in his own voice, this gripping account captures the humor, vulnerability, and resilience of a man coming to terms with his identity. The audiobook also delves into universal themes of self-expression, betrayal, and courage, making it resonate deeply with listeners beyond its Hollywood setting.

Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, Pushed Out of the Closet Without a Parachute is more than just a memoir—it’s a testament to the human spirit. Gunther Allen’s evocative storytelling provides a heartfelt tribute to an era when sexuality was silenced and the devastating impact of AIDS was only beginning to emerge.
