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." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by Edmund White - Author of : The Farewell Symphony : A Novel Paperback - 432 pages (September 1998) Random House; ISBN: 0679754768 "General Gay Fiction Books; Edmund White has long been praised as one of America's most accomplished novelists. The Farewell Symphony is the final volume in the autobiographical trilogy that began with A Boy's Own Story and The Beautiful Room Is Empty. It details the narrator's life in New York in the 1970s and his flight to Paris as the AIDS epidemic begins. White's prose, at once lucid and magical, is the essence of great writing. Its plainspoken cadences and language resonate with the tragedy of youthful passion giving way to hard-earned knowledge. Like Sherwood Anderson or Theodore Dreiser, White has captured the soul of the American experience--in this case a gay male experience--and made it into art."

No one could be more supportive about his having gingerly come out of the closet than his exuberant and alarmingly beautiful ex-wife, who is eager to have him finally out of the house so that her meter reader (and synchronized swimming colleague) can move in. But his search for Mr. Right-and for his own comfortable place as a plain and normal citizen of the world-is complicated by any number of meddlesome people who have involved themselves in the cause of S. Lloyd Norris. Among them are his secretary, a steely matron with vague ties to minor royalty; his robust boss, whom he inadvertently sabotages; two churlish elderly men who reject his charity; a circle of bemused gay men who entangle him in a baffling series of romantic adventures; a temp with a housing problem and a belligerent boyfriend; and a Steinbeck-reading truck driver who just might be the answer to everyone's problems.""
