Review:
"Like so many American novels about coming to maturity, A BOY'S OWN STORY asserts that growing up is a descent into painful knowledge, indecency and repression."
Catherine R. Stimpson, New York Times Book Review, 10/10/1982
Review:"This is not exclusively a homosexual boy's story. It is any boy's story, to the marvelous degree that it evokes the inchoate longing of late childhood and adolescence."
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times
