A funny, honest novel about being out, being proud . . . and being ready for something else.
Rafe is a normal teenager from Boulder, Colorado. He plays soccer. He's won skiing prizes. He likes to write.
And, oh yeah, he's gay. He's been out since 8th grade, and he isn't teased, and he goes to other high schools and talks about tolerance and stuff. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to just be a regular guy. Not that GAY guy. To have it be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time.
So when he transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate breaking down. He meets a teacher who challenges him to write his story. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben . . . who doesn't even know that love is possible.
This witty, smart, coming-out-again story will appeal to gay and straight kids alike as they watch Rafe navigate being different, fitting in, and what it means to be himself.
Bill lives in just outside of Phoenix with his longtime partner, Chuck. They have an Australian Labradoodle named Mabel, who completes them. She also can jump very high and head a ball like a champion soccer player.
Bill is now a full-time writer of fiction, which is his dream job. Except when it makes him crazy and impossible to live with, which is about 36 percent of the time.
Before Bill was a fiction writer (and long before he ever referred to himself in the third person), he was a sports writer. As a sports writer and editor for The Associated Press from 2005-08, he covered the New York Mets and his weekly fantasy baseball column appeared in newspapers across the country, from the New York Daily News to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. In May of 2001, while working for ESPN.com, he came out on the front page of the website in an article entitled "Sports World Still a Struggle for Gays." That article won him a GLAAD Media Award the following year.
Since then, he has spoken at numerous venues across the country on what it’s like to be a gay person in the world of sports. He has written for The New York Times, New York Daily News, North Jersey Herald & News and Denver Post, to name a few. His work has also appeared in Out Magazine. In 2011, his coming out was named the #64 moment in gay sports history by the website Outsports.com. His story was included as a chapter in the book Jocks 2: Coming Out to Play by Dan Woog.
就这结局,就一句WTF!!!
评分又贫又贱又身在福中不知福的主角啊,好在不断自省反思,探索实验,敢做也敢承担。对于标签化的思考、推翻、重来,让人看到社会发展的希望。(尽管整个世界都在走下坡路(YA小说还是充满乐观的泡沫
评分首先 文风文笔5星 很多年没有读到这么喜欢的文笔 几乎一口气读完 对话有个性和角色 虽然除了两个主角其他角色都刻画模糊 但赋予角色的魅力和幽默大加分 男主的挣扎 不成熟 到最后的伤都历历在目 开放结局也比较大胆(今年3月续集会以男二为主角)其实一开始男主觉得自己被关注因为同志身份 决定“去标签”重活一遍 我觉得还蛮有道理~直到后面他给每个人都“透过镜片”去观察 谎也圆不回来了…每个人都是一个或多个标签 你以为别人在看你的标签 别人或许是在照镜子 写得真好。
评分刚看完这本,中间都写的不错,对自我剖析也很彻底。只是最后结局让人略失望。听说还有关于另一个角度的这个故事,但是我已经不想去看了。主要是年纪打了,不甜的故事都不想看了。。。。。
评分“there was nothing anyone needed to accept or tolerate. We celebrated.” Rafe这个人物没有想象中那么可爱。他不喜欢所在的jock group又渴望被他们接受,他否认自己回到柜子里却又撒谎说Charlie是自己女朋友,所有那些不成熟和不自知导致他其实没那么可爱。对于有一对ultraliberal的爹妈、成长在一个对同性恋十分宽容的社区,然而“growing up in Boulder is like growing up in a bubble”,他为了摆脱“gay”的标签来到了另一个地方,一路作死搞砸一切,喜欢上一个直男。其实看到他们sex的那里我都以为要HE了,结果结局竟然emm。PS.室友那对直弯基友超可爱。
