Description
Description
A lyrical gay coming-of-age story first published in 1951, acclaimed by Gore Vidal and The New York Times, about Matthew, a young American who moves to France with his mother following his parents' divorce. As Matthew navigates his budding sexuality and complicated new relationships, he is forced to confront finistère--land's end--where the brutal truths of the world can be found.
Includes an appendix of materials about the book and author, as well as an introduction by acclaimed author Michael Bronski. Part of the Little Sister's Classics series, which resurrects out-of-print gay and lesbian books from the past.
