This book got me thinking. Took me way out of my comfort zone and into the thoughts of a gay middle-class white man who reached adulthood in the 1960s. Last chapter occurs at the time of Stonewall riots.

I sense that the overall tone of this book is rebellion. And the author describes his life in a removed way. He doesn’t convey much affection or empathy for others.

He lives unapologetically and embraces all his desires without hesitating.

I feel like I can compare this to The Swimming Pool Library, in terms of a “type�� of narrator perhaps.

And obviously this book wasn’t written for people like myself, I don’t believe. Intended audience might be the types of fellas who our author desired. And that’s ok. But now I’m getting curious about this genre. Perhaps literature courses exist about it, in the academic arena.
