Description
In 1980s New York City, Guy is the epitome of beauty and desire. A rising star in Fire Island's gay community and one of the city's top male models, he effortlessly glides through life, leaving a trail of admirers in his wake. From those who lavish him with gifts to those who project onto him different roles - unattainable idol, passionate lover, or malleable client - Guy plays along, always staying one step ahead. Yet, as the years catch up on his smooth skin and perfect body, his way of life begins to close in, threatening the men he loves. Edmund White's novel explores the allure and enchantment of beauty, revealing its power to fascinate, enslave, and deceive. A mesmerising and blackly comic tale, Our Young Man is a delicately crafted exploration of gay male identity and the devastating consequences that can follow.
