A Boy's Own Story
A Novel
Edmund White
A coming-of-age story set in the 1950s, this classic novel portrays a young boy's struggle to embrace his own sexuality amid aloof parents, a cruel sister, and relentless peer mocking. The unnamed narrator finds solace in works of art and literature as he navigates new relationships and his own inner turmoil. Poignant and lyrical, this is an American literary treasure.
