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.

什么时候国内能出这样的书的译本呢。。
评分The ending is amazingly shocking.
评分当想爱但必须抛弃,才符合时代对自我的规范时,结尾与老师媾和后又告发,算是一种自我报复,擦干嘴上的精液,走在有雪花的路上,凛然得像个战士,只不过是把刀插入自身。
评分不知为何 无共鸣…
评分真的读得吃力,但是真的是每一句话都超级有代画面感,每个场景都会在脑海中丰富起来。海边,公路上,双层床上,凡士林和你热热的手掌。
