SOME BOYS

SOME BOYS
Michael Davidson

A celebrated journalist's memoir of unerring personal empathy

Michael Davidson's The World, The Flesh and Myself scandalized the respectable world with his opening sentence. Davidson followed the success of his first book with a still more revealing sequel. Some Boys is a fond memoir of the author's young friends across four decades and as many continents: from Marrakech to Saigon, Ischia to Lahore. Written with the discernment and observation of a brilliant journalist, these recollections combine erotic intenseness with an unerring personal empathy, and show throughout a keen and sensitive perception for the diversity of customs and culture.

Michael Davidson's autobiography was described by Arthur Koestler as the "twofold story of a courageous and lovable person's struggle to come to terms with his Grecian heresy and of a brilliant journalist's fight against colonial jingoism".
