First published in 1974, The Front Runner raced to international acclaim - the first novel about gay love to become popular with mainstream.
In 1975, coach Harlan Brown is hiding from his past at an obscure New York college, after he was fired from Penn State University on suspicion of being gay. A tough, lonely ex-Marine of 39, Harlan has never allowed himself to love another man.
Then Billy Sive, a brilliant young runner, shows up on his doorstep. He and his two comrades, Vince Matti and Jacques LaFont, were just thrown off a major team for admitting they are gay. Harlan knows that, with proper training, Billy could go to the '76 Olympics in Montreal. He agrees to coach the three boys under strict conditions that thwart Billy's growing attraction for his mature but compelling mentor. The lean, graceful frontrunner with gold-rim glasses sees directly into Harlan's heart. Billy's gentle and open acceptance of his sexuality makes Harlan afraid to confront either the pain of his past, or the challenges which lay in wait if their intimacy is exposed.
But when Coach Brown finds himself falling in love with his most gifted athlete, he must combat his true feelings for Billy or risk the outrage of the entire sports world - and their only chance at Olympic gold.

评分我撇开身后的学生跟着他。“Billy ”,我大喊。他转过头来。我朝他的脸狠狠的扇了一耳光,但是留意不碰到他的眼镜。这一巴掌就像在医院里Patton甩给战士的那有名的一巴掌,完全是为了让他清醒。甚至是Zen Buddhists都甩过巴掌。他们称之为“psychic shock”,让脑子清醒。我打...

历史地位还是要承认的,但内容上雷点也有点太密集了。这故事当年 Paul Newman 一心要拉着 Robert Redford 拍,但 Robert Redford 不怎么情愿加上各种耽搁最后不了了之,看书的时候尝试过代入不过真的不怎么合适... 倒因为角色设定是前海陆所以把 GK 的两人代入到还蛮符合的。

评分写得很平淡 文字朴实 但是架不住情节狗血 话说像Billy这种完美男朋友(居然是处女座,扳回一城)真是人见人爱花见花开啊 看这个书的年代就已经知道必须会写同志大军的压迫挣扎和反抗 就跟青春文学必须经历“阵痛成长”一样 就跟韩剧女主时不时会白血病一样 并没有很不好 也没有特别好
评分算是同性恋小说先驱,在那个年代缺乏理解的人是多么令人感到难过。破碎眼镜是几个封面里面我认为比较好的。
