Description
'A lovely book: bright and heartfelt, funny and refreshing.' - ANDREW O'HAGAN
'A beautiful, moving, life-affirming book.' - IAN RANKIN
Friendships just might be the greatest love affairs of our lives.
In 2018, poet and author Michael Pedersen lost a cherished friend, Scott Hutchison, soon after their collective voyage into the landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Just weeks later, Michael began to write to him. As he confronts the bewildering process of grief, what starts as a love letter to one magical, coruscating human soon becomes a paean to all the gorgeous male friendships that have transformed his life.
'Astonishingly compelling... as perfect a portrait of friendship as I've ever read.' - STEPHEN FRY
'Michael writes with true sensitivity and power... he is a master of words; he plays them like music.' - KAE TEMPEST
'Tender, funny... it lifted my spirits in the way Ali Smith does.' - VAL McDERMID
Boy Friends is a celebration of friendship and the profound connections it brings, beautifully capturing the essence and power of human relationships.
