Enchanted Youth (Gay Men's Press Collection) by McMullen, Richie - 1999

The Gay Men's Press, London, 1999. Reprint. Softcover. Very Good Condition. It's 1958, and fifteen-year-old Richie runs away from his Liverpool home and heads for London. He discovers a world of rent boys preyed on by criminal gangs yet giving each other comfort and support; the excitement of Soho in the rock'n'roll years; and love for an upper-class boy his own age. When his parents banish their son to Singapore, Richie joins the merchant navy and sets off in quest of his friend. Enchanted Youth is the follow-up to Richie McMullen's highly popular Enchanted Boy. If his first volume of memoirs was, in his word, "a journey through abuse to prostitution", the second leads him through a still more perilous time, from prostitution to love.-- rear panel blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 157 pages.
