- Synopsis
- IN 1962, when Michael Davidson published his autobiography, THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND MYSELF, he scandalized the respectable literary world with his opening sentence: "This is the life-history of a lover of boys." Yet the book not only established itself as a classic of gay literature, it also won superlative praise from contemporaries such as Arthur Koestler and James Cameron. . . Davidson followed the success of his autobiography with a still more revealing sequel. SOME BOYS is a beautifully-written and honest memoir of the author's encounters, friendships, and lasting loves with boys across four decades and as many continents, from Marrakech to Rangoon, from Tokyo to Geneva, from Naples to London. A brilliant British journalist, Davidson writes with the discerning eye of an experienced observer and with the detailed descriptions of a travel writer. The vivid recollections in SOME BOYS combine erotic intenseness with unerring empathy, and demonstrate throughout a keen and sensitive perception of an engrossing variety of customs and cultures.
