The subject of 'A Boy's Own Story' is less a particular boy than the bodies and souls of American men; the teachers and masters; the lovers, brothers, hustlers and friends; the flawed fathers who would be kings to their sons who should be princes...
'This is not exclusively a homosexual boy's story. It is any boy's story, to the marvellous degree that it evokes the inchoate longing of late childhood and adolescence, the sense that somehow, someday, somewhere life will provide focus for these longings, and the agonizing length of time that life seems to take in getting around to this particular place of business.' "The New York Times"
