Description - Lawnboy by Paul Lisicky
This is a literary coming of age for a fine a fine debut writer. Here are a mundane holiday chore kaleidoscopes into the startling world of adult desire in Lisicky's marvellous debut offering. 17-year-old Evan's adventures begin with his mowing a neighbour's lawn - a summer job that leads him into an unpredictable world of desire and betrayal. Estranged from his parents and his older brother, he moves in with 41-year-old William and commences a disastrous series of attempts to make a new home. Lisicky's strength lies in the assured quality of his prose, which at times achieves Olympian heights. Evan's slow awakening and subsequent education into his life role unfold with the measured steps of a writer far more experienced than Lisicky apparently is, against a succession of stupendously drawn backdrops in the lush outposts of Florida. This work offers a wonderful examination of the growth of the gay male psyche.
