Vintage Fantasy
Recommendations for guy-on-guy YA books?
I enjoyed the ‘Geography Club’ series, though I wasn’t too crazy about ‘Boy meets Boy’. I’d prefer something with well-developed characters and no pointless porn.
Something with fantasy elements would be good, though not necessary (ghosts are a favorite of mine–I already read and liked ‘Vintage’).
Edit: Anyone who doesn’t give an actual answer or recommends the Twilight series should either
a) Get a life
b) Actually READ the question
c) All of the above
I haven’t read it, but this sounds good:
“Leave Myself Behind” by Bart Yates
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0758203497/wsirn-20/
“”Ever since J.D. Salinger wrote The Catcher in the Rye, authors have been hoping to create the next Holden Caulfield and critics have hoped to crown a character with that distinction. The latest temptation for comparison is surely Leave Myself Behind, a debut by Bart Yates. Yates’ main character and narrator, Noah York, has Caulfield-style teenage authenticity. Noah’s voice is more than just honest or original; it’s real. The tone of his observations will ring true for anyone who has been around teenagers. This isn’t just a novel about a boy dealing with discrimination and fighting for acceptance. Nor is Noah a character for whom sexual orientation is the only developed personality trait. We don’t see Noah as simply a gay teen or fatherless child. We see him as a character dealing with life. That’s what makes Leave Myself Behind so great.” –The Plain Dealer
“Noah York is seventeen, but don’t let his age fool you. Noah’s blunt, funny and dead-on narrative will lend this memorable tale of young-but-cynical love a fresh resonance with readers of all ages, gay or straight, male or female. A gripping tale of buried secrets and emerging attractions, but more than that, a story of the familial ties that bind as they grow stronger and pull apart.” — Brian Malloy, author of The Year of Ice
“With Leave Myself Behind, Bart Yates gives us both the laugh-out-loud and refreshingly sincere coming-of-age story we’ve been missing all these years.” –Instinct
“A dazzlingly brilliant debut novel…Bart Yates, where have you been hiding? Leave Myself Behind is not only well written, it is at once hilariously comic, disturbingly sad, achingly profound, and just plain good reading! Some novels just get to you and this is one. Bart Yates, please write another and another. You have so much innate talent and gift for storytelling that it is simply mind boggling! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED reading for just about everyone who loves good books.” –The Gay Read “
