Dream Boy: A Novel

ALA Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual Book Award. DREAM BOY confirms the immense promise of Jim Grimsley's award-winning debut, WINTER BIRDS. In his electrifying novel, adolescent gay love, violence, and the spirituality of old-time religion are combined through the alchemy of Grimsley's vision into a powerfully suspenseful story of escape and redemption. I've never read a novel remotely like DREAM BOY; and my admiration for Jim Grimsley's power is widened and deepened. --Reynolds Price; Translucent prose and emotional authenticity. --Out.
