Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. It is 1981. Jaap, a Dutch teenager, is a boy taking his first steps towards becoming a man. He's reclusive, a wallflower with a handsome face and curly blond hair. He loves playing tennis and plays drums for a student rock band. He is attracted to men and afraid of desires that he has not acted upon. By fortuitous accident, the Dutch teen meets Briton John D. Stamford, and his life changes. Stamford is the excentric middle-aged editor of Spartacus International Gay Guide, the crucial book for gay male travelers. It listed both welcoming destinations and countries that carried strict penalties for homosexuality. Jaap likes mature men; John prefers youths. BOY ONE is the record of their relationship, the deluxe global travel they did for John's work, the eye-opening experiences of a sheltered teen, and the obsessive sexual relationship that developed. Amid the glamor of five-star hotels and restaurants, conflicts arise. Jaap still thinks about having a girlfriend and wonders if he is bisexual. John is trying to push his young lover into something he's not ready for-being openly gay all the time. Moreover, Jaap notices the Spartacus Guide lists opportunities for sex with underaged youths in places like Thailand. He suspects this is wrong. So do the police, who begin investigating John. Despite the excitement and eroticism of their relationship, the moral issues grow until the two are at odds. In BOY ONE, Jaap Cove tells the honest and gripping story of a remarkable part of his life. Revealing and outspoken, it is a unique, colorful and compelling coming-of-age story. It captures the excitement of international gay life in the early 80s, but it is also a troubling saga about morality and intergenerational relationships. Jaap Cove (1962) studied anthropology and debuted in 2011 with his novel Walking Among Us, followed by Caju (2012) and The Girl in the Web (2017). Dog Gone (2023) was his first nonfiction narrative. Boy One is his first memoir. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
