Le récit, autobiographique me semble-t-il, a jeunesse d'un homosexuel américain. Cela m'avait marqué à l'époque où je commençais moi-même ma vie d'homosexuel provincial tout juste débarqué à Paris.
solid 4,5. i came across this book purely by accident and it was a very pleasant surprise. the writing was good and the main character was relatable (but expectedly so). i only wish it hadn't ended so abruptly because i have no idea where i could possibly acquire the next two books and i've become pretty invested in this boy's (own) story
