Title: A sustained whisper of promise
Review: Dream Boy may have been early Jim Grimsley, but I read it after absorbing his "Comfort and Joy" and "Winter Birds": now I can see why it gained so much attention as a promising beginning novel....the subsequent "diaries" of Grimsley's characters are as stunningly mature as this little beginning novel promises.Style. Grimsley has style - his own method of finding obscure characters, making them completely believable, giving them life beyond the last page of his books. Dream Boy is a book for the widest audience, not just another good story about same sex relationships. Delivering the delicate vulnerability of discovering the joy and the terror of love and physical attraction has rarely been so well related. The magical ending, suggested by the title of the book, leaves us, the reader, to decide what really happened, much in the fashion deMaupassant stories. This is a fine little novel with a very large messsage that needs and deserves our attention.
