«La historia particular d'un noi» is the contemporary fiction novel by Edmund White, published by Destino CAT in paperback, in Catalan.
In 1950s America, a boy grows up amid the emotional ups and downs of childhood and adolescence. The discovery of his homosexuality confronts him with difference and the fear of not fitting in; his relationship with his divorced parents and the difficult social learning mark his path to maturity, narrated with lyricism and irony.
The novel was published in 1996 in Barcelona and is part of the L'Ancora collection.
A work for readers of contemporary literary fiction, especially those seeking coming-of-age novels about identity and self-discovery.
Edmund Valentine White III was an American novelist, memoirist, playwright, biographer and essayist. A pioneering figure in LGBTQ and especially gay literature after the Stonewall riots, he wrote with rare candor about gay identity, relationships, and sex. His work emerged as part of an increasingly solidified and visible LGBTQ community, helping to reshape public narratives at a time when coming out was still a dangerous, even radical act. His writing, noted for intimate depth and literary elegance, includes the semi-autobiographical trilogy A Boy's Own Story (1982), The Beautiful Room Is Empty (1988), and The Farewell Symphony (1997). He also co-authored The Joy of Gay Sex (1977), promoting sex-positive discourse.
