A Boy's Own Story by Edmund White

2.0

This novel didn't do it for me. I know it was groundbreaking and considered a gay classic, but the writing is so pretentious and adult it's hard to remember it's supposed to be the story of an adolescent. It's very short but feels very long. Reviewers seem mixed on the ending, but I think it is the most interesting, meaningful part.
