Title: Fresh, stylish, sexy telling of scary adolescent sexuality
Review: Mysterious Skin is a 90s sexual coming-of-age novel very creatively and wittily told from the point of view of several of the novel's characters, each encountering sexuality in a different way. It is highly imaginative in its images and method of storytelling and evokes the reader's own memories of sexuality awakened. It also explores the theme of the intimate relationships gay men often have with their straight women friends. It introduces three different gay adolescents who confront their sexuality very differently, thus avoiding obvious gay cliches and presenting a range of experiences each very interesting it its own way. The novel also deals with the imaginations of its characters is a delightful way. One of the best coming of age novels ever written
