Book excerpt: “An extraordinary novel” about growing up gay in the 1950s American Midwest (The New York Times Book Review). Critically lauded upon its initial publication in 1982 for its pioneering depiction of homosexuality, A Boy’s Own Story is a moving tale about coming-of-age in midcentury America. With searing clarity and unabashed wit, Edmund White’s unnamed protagonist yearns for what he knows to be shameful. He navigates an uneasy relationship with his father, confounds first loves, and faces disdain from his peers at school. In the embrace of another, he discovers the sincere and clumsy pleasures of adolescent sexuality. But for boys in the 1950s, these desires were unthinkable. Looking back on his experiences, the narrator notes, “I see now that what I wanted was to be loved by men and to love them back but not to be a homosexual.” From a winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature, this trailblazing autobiographical story of one boy’s youth is a moving, tender, and heartbreaking portrait of what it means to grow up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy's Own Book A popular encyclopedia of the Sports and Pastimes of Youth, - a companion for all holydays, - The Boy's own Book,-unmixed with aught that was not highly interesting to himself, had long been a desideratum; to supply which, he was usually led to become his own caterer, and purchase publications of an objectionable character, merely because their low price placed them within his reach. The present Work was an attempt to obviate this inconvenience, by enabling those, who had the guardianship of youth, to present their young proteges, in the form of a Holyday or Birthday Present, with a concentration of all that usually delights them, executed in such a manner as their own judgment would approve, and much more amusing and instructive to the juvenile mind, than the cheap trash on which the hoarded shilling is usually expended. The event has fully justified the expectations of the Publishers; few works have met with so flattering a reception, from the press and the public; the whole of the first edition, which extended to three thousand copies, having been sold without advertisements, in little more than two months. The present edition contains many alterations and improvements: it is augmented, in bulk, by an extra half sheet; and, in quantity of matter, nearly a sheet and a half, by an increase in the size of its pages: the articles have all been improved, and some of them re-written, and the volume is enriched with many new engravings of superior design and execution.
