JAMES HANLEY
BOY
Acclaimed by luminaries such as William Faulkner, E.M. Forster and Anthony Burgess, suppressed for more than fifty years by a prosecution for obscenity, James Hanleys 1931 classic charts the short and brutal life of a boy forced out ol school and into the unforgiving adult world.
Narrated in a visceral language that is both unflinching and acute in its observational power, Boy is a haunting and disturbing cautionary tale. This edition also contains a deleted scene horn the manuscript, previously unpublished.
