A Boy's Own Story
Preston.BradyIII from Deep South,USA , October 16, 1998
One of the best books with a gay theme ever written
Edmund White long ago established himself as a premier voice in gay America. "A Boy's Own Story" is a literary masterpiece both moving and disturbing. Many readers make the mistake of calling it "autobiographical", forgetting it is a work of fiction LOOSELY autobiographical. I can't imagine being gay and not having read this book. Yes, the ending is disturbing, and this makes it all the more powerful. "A Boy's Own Story" is so moving a reader threw it across the room upon reading the ending, vowing never to read Edmund White again. This alone should cause you to click on "add to shopping cart."
