À propos de cet audio

Originally published in 1982 as the first of Edmund White's trilogy of autobiographical novels, A Boy's Own Story became an instant classic for its pioneering portrayal of homosexuality. The audiobook's unnamed narrator, growing up during the 1950s, is beset by aloof parents, a cruel sister, and relentless mocking from his peers, compelling him to seek out works of art and literature as solace-and to uncover new relationships in the struggle to embrace his own sexuality. Lyrical and poignant, with powerful evocations of shame and yearning, this is an American literary treasure.

"A Boy's Own Story" is a truly incredible read, and essential for queer men. It's a powerful coming-of-age tale that blends queer shame, desire, and self-discovery in a way that feels both intimate and universal. It’s also an important opportunity to learn about queer history through a deeply personal lens. Highly recommend.

A very beautiful story

Really enjoyed this. It could be classified as a coming of age story of a gay man, but still has plenty of appeal to me. I look forward to the next book in the series.

So well written
