A Boy's Own Story by Edmund White
4.0
“I felt as though I were a dancer not up to his role but inspired by the expectation everywhere in the darkness around me. Or I felt like someone in history, a queen on her way to the scaffold determined to suppress her usual quips, to give the spectators the high deeds they wanted to see.”
Here lies the narrator at his young age, imbibed by his own curiosity, wanting to see the length of his desire, to witness how much would this desire dictate his journey. The controversy and the blatant scenes of immorality splattered this book, and yet there’s no way for me to put this down. Edmund White, I hear you — loud and clear.
