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Sex always makes things work out.
评分真的讀得吃力,但是真的是每一句話都超級有代畫麵感,每個場景都會在腦海中豐富起來。海邊,公路上,雙層床上,凡士林和你熱熱的手掌。
评分At first there are highlights but then the description got tedious and narrative incomprehensible and I got bored.
评分當想愛但必須拋棄,纔符閤時代對自我的規範時,結尾與老師媾和後又告發,算是一種自我報復,擦乾嘴上的精液,走在有雪花的路上,凜然得像個戰士,隻不過是把刀插入自身。
