One of the author's six favorite books, as shared at The Week magazine:
A Boy's Own Story by Edmund WhiteRead about the other entries on the list.
A modern classic. In his coming-of-age novel set in the 1950s in Ohio and Michigan, White explores how the illicit nature of gay love in that time and place can corrupt the very nature and quality of that love and deform the heart that produces it. Comic and devastating.
