Taboo by Boyer Rickel (1999)
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 765 kb
Overview: “In this beautiful, startlingly fresh collection of memoirs, Boyer Rickel lifts the smallest moments of a life to the light, placing them side by side, patiently building a portrait of self-in-context. Rickel studies desire and childhood, and the long work of moving from loneliness into relation. Somehow both edgy and calm at once, self-possessed and fearless, Taboo is a book of hours, a book of devotions.”
—Mark Doty, author of Heaven’s Coast
This impressionistic memoir offers images of a life in progress, including scenes from Boyer Rickel's rural Tempe, Arizona, childhood in the 1950s, his relationship with a physically shrinking father; his eccentric teenage friendships; his growing awareness of his sexuality among young, Hispanic gay men; and a trip through Italy with his lover. Like Bernard Cooper’s Truth Serum and Donald Windham’s Emblems of Conduct, Boyer Rickel’s Taboo is a memoir that is poetic and almost fragmentary. His prose is delicate and sensuous. We watch him grow up through the episodes and watch as his growing self-knowledge augments sense and memory. A beautiful book.”
