Originally published in 1982 as the to begin Edmund White’s trilogy of autobiographical novels, A Boy’s Own Story became an instantaneous classic because of its pioneering portrayal of homosexuality. The book’s unnamed narrator, growing up through the 1950s, is usually beset by aloof parents, a cruel sister, and relentless mocking from his peers, compelling him to search out artwork and literature as solace-and to discover new interactions in the battle to embrace his very own sexuality.

Lyrical and poignant, with effective evocations of shame and yearning, that is an American literary treasure.
