Boys' Love, A Novel

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Boys' Love, A Novel explores the adventures of Jon, a Filipino gay man navigating his coming out in the conservative and Catholic culture of the Philippines. As he becomes a journalist, Jon briefly resides in the United Kingdom and the United States, before returning to his vibrant homeland, which is on the cusp of change.

In this journey, Jon builds friendships and alliances in Manila's gay community, experiences the highs and lows of relationships, and embraces the endless possibilities of hope with an open heart. The narrative is both readable and accessible, enriched by a variety of prose forms, including vignettes, poems, songs, speeches, reviews, feature articles, as well as portraits of people and places.

Through Jon's eyes, the novel captures "the love that dares to speak its name," blending moments of hilarity and heartbreak. Boys' Love, A Novel invites readers on a heartfelt and insightful journey.
