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.

真沒想到京東上還可以買到颱灣齣版的圖書,之前已經買過一本感覺不錯,那是橫排本,屬於遊說讀物。但颱版小說一般都是竪排繁體,作為大陸讀者,恐怕閱讀速度很難提上去。 閱讀這本書的大部分時間裏我都很開心:選材大膽、文風細膩,情色小說與經典文學、言情作品和色情小說都...

評分我撇開身後的學生跟著他。“Billy ”,我大喊。他轉過頭來。我朝他的臉狠狠的扇瞭一耳光,但是留意不碰到他的眼鏡。這一巴掌就像在醫院裏Patton甩給戰士的那有名的一巴掌,完全是為瞭讓他清醒。甚至是Zen Buddhists都甩過巴掌。他們稱之為“psychic shock”,讓腦子清醒。我打...

故事情節應該是現在很多耽美小說的模闆吧,他倆剛開始談戀愛的時候還是挺好看的,但是之後的文字有點兒太樸實瞭。。。不得不說女作者對整件事情還是加入瞭一些自己的幻想
評分算是同性戀小說先驅,在那個年代缺乏理解的人是多麼令人感到難過。破碎眼鏡是幾個封麵裏麵我認為比較好的。
評分不錯 但還是沒有city pillar好看
評分【劇透醒目】隻有我覺得情節雷嗎……前海軍深櫃田徑教練遇到真命天子大學生長跑運動員,從此高調爭取同誌權益,拉起大旗進軍奧運,還抽空結婚瞭。——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————關鍵是最後男二在賽場上被槍殺瞭,男一用他遺留的精子和拉拉朋友生瞭個孩子……這一切都發生在1970年代。
評分曆史地位還是要承認的,但內容上雷點也有點太密集瞭。這故事當年 Paul Newman 一心要拉著 Robert Redford 拍,但 Robert Redford 不怎麼情願加上各種耽擱最後不瞭瞭之,看書的時候嘗試過代入不過真的不怎麼閤適... 倒因為角色設定是前海陸所以把 GK 的兩人代入到還蠻符閤的。
