I first read "The World of Normal Boys" last year, and I liked it a lot. Upon re-reading it, I agree that it's kind of depressing, unsettling, but also realistic. Remember that this is set in the 1970s. How much did your average gay 13yo then know about Stonewall, for instance?I can easily imagine a young 1970s boy who knows he attracted to boys, is consumed with guilt on multiple fronts, has virtually no positive role models, jerks off a lot, and gets slapped around by everybody. But does this make for a good novel? Well, I suppose that not every coming-of-age story has to be life-affirming and love-affirming. What Robin thinks, what he does, are wholly believable from a 13yo's point of view. At the same time, I don't think I'd want to be Robin, no matter what decade it is -- even if I *did* get to say "screw you" and ride off into the sunset at the end.Robin has, or ends up having, an antagonistic relationship with almost everyone in his life. The only "nice people" are his guidance counselor, Mr. Cortez, and Vincent, the Greenwich Village trick who gives Robin bus fare for sex. But take the other characters: Robin's father is the personification of clueless fatherhood, Robin's mentoring mother has given over to drink, brother Jackson (until his demise) is a bullying brat, sister Ruby and grandmother Nana are ridiculously religious, Grandpa Leo was a drunk, uncle Stan is a dork, cousin Larry is a total prick, and both buds Todd Spicer and Scott Schatz turn out to be losers who, for unknown reasons, like to get their rocks off (indiscriminately) with other guys. Lest I forget Mr. Schatz, the drunken child abuser. So, Robin is awash in negativity. Even Mr. Cortez is clueless about why 13yo Robin has to ditch school.I think the main shtick in this novel is not homosexuality or parents or friends, or 13yos. It's Jackson's injury. It's the granddaddy metaphor for dashed hopes. Robin's story is filled with dashed hopes. And at the end, when Robin takes the bull by the horns, says sayonara, and gets on that Black & Tan bus to NYC, the story is still about hope.
I had just read Dream Boy, and was looking for something similar, but hopefully without a jarring ending slamming in from out of left field, something that ruined Dream Boy for many.The writing here was OK; I suppose the juvenile and basic prose can be chalked up to the youth of the lead character whose POV we are reading from. But I've read books with similarly aged characters where the writing was eloquent and engaging despite this fact, due to there being much more show and less "tell." For example, once again, Dream Boy, which was beautifully written. So that was the first strike.But ultimately that was the least of my concerns with this tedious book. The plot was terrible and none of the characters were at all likeable. I'm all for exploring in a harsh light the realities that some young teens face. But this was so laughably contrived. This story was not immersive, as a reader I found myself simply observing the path that the plot took with one brow raised. This was probably due to the fact that this novel felt more like I was reading someone's wishful thinking then anything.We begin with the author continuously harping bout the "wimpiness" and "girlishness" of Robin by everyone around him. He bleats about his lack of coordination and his love of John Travolta at every turn. Apparently these traits are the catalyst for every revolting and disturbed individual within a 100 mile radius wanting to have sex with this kid. I would liken this experience to when I read a few chapters of Twilight for the heck of it, and had to stop shortly thereafter because it was noxious how clearly Meyer was writing her fantasy self into this fantasy universe. Every man in bland and unlikable Bella's path was falling over themselves to get to her, salivating at her annoying traits as she fervently chewed her lip off and tripped over every object in her path.There was also a smattering of traumatic family events that fell flat, as Robin skirted lightly through each chapter in this book doing little more than being unlikable and stirring the pot. Redemptive qualities, you say? No where to be found. Ultimately you end this book feeling nothing for this character. It's a mess of a book that makes you want to throw it in the trash and take a shower.
The World of Normal Boys is one of the most powerful first novels I've ever read. The author digs deep into the psyche of his protagonist and speaks to us in a clear, warm, youthful voice. While sometimes shockingly explicit in its sexual content the novel does not rely on the cliches typical of "the coming of age" novel.At times poetic, the book focuses on Robin MacKenzie and his search for love and a "place" in the world. When a horrible accident puts the family at odds with each other, Robin is thrust into a journey filled with self-doubt, guilt, and fear. Never a dull moment, The World of Normal Boys is a page turner. This is a near perfect novel that brings those agonizing years clearly into focus for those of us who forgot what it was like to be on the outside looking in. No doubt, the author will win a Lambda award for this effort. In short, this book is a gem and will stay with you long after you've finished it.
