Dan says there will be a sequel of this *rubs hands*
Dan Skinner writes about coming of age as no other.
This reads as a typical Dan Skinner story.
Young men barely out of their teens, if at all? Check.
First discoveries and sexuality exploration? All in all, coming of age? Check.
Sense of doom filled with dreams struggling to come to the surface? Check.
1960s in the middle of nowhere setting? Check.
Poetical and intimate style? Check.
Raw feelings? Check.
Dan Skinner has the ability of giving me what I need and still leave me with utter longing. This is a little gem. With an aery feeling, emotions get out of your skin and become tactile and real.
And the ending is open to hope.
So I hope and have the perfect ending in my head.
Because I choose to believe.
