An instant classic upon its original publication, A Boy's Own Story is the first of Edmund White's highly acclaimed trilogy of autobiographical novels that brilliantly evoke a young man's coming of age and document American gay life through the last forty years.
The nameless narrator in this deeply affecting work reminisces about growing up in the 1950s with emotionally aloof, divorced parents, an unrelenting sister, and the schoolmates who taunt him. He finds consolation in literature and his fantastic imagination. Eager to cultivate intimate, enduring friendships, he becomes aware of his yearning to be loved by men, and struggles with the guilt and shame of accepting who he is. Written with lyrical delicacy and extraordinary power, A Boy's Own Story is a triumph.
Edmund White is the author of many novels, including A Boy's Own Story, The Beautiful Room Is Empty, The Farewell Symphony, and, most recently, Our Young Man. His nonfiction includes City Boy, Inside a Pearl, and other memoirs; The Flâneur, about Paris; and literary biographies and essays. White lives in New York.
The ending is amazingly shocking.
评分But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
评分不知为何 无共鸣…
评分故事情节很弱,中间部分太多心理描写个自我纠结的分析。大抵那个年代接受自己的同志身份来的更纠结。最后结尾真是大胆,充满仪式感。告发了音乐老师后,再去赴约并kneel down blow了他。不过blow这一过程队主人公来说更像是对成人世界的征服,多过于对自我欲望的满足。
评分Sex always makes things work out.
