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.
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.

不知為何 無共鳴…
評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。
評分什麼時候國內能齣這樣的書的譯本呢。。
評分名字平淡如水,然,世情薄,人情惡。
評分At first there are highlights but then the description got tedious and narrative incomprehensible and I got bored.
