Striking depiction of queerness in the early 20th Century South

Aucune note

I think I added this book to my list when I saw @toddrobbins mark it was "to read," and I'm glad I did. After reading this, Mick and Mr. Singer became two of my favorite characters of all time. The depiction of queerness is really interesting and seems way ahead of its time for 1940, and the depiction of childhood is striking too (not to mention how the novel addresses both of these through the character of Mick).
