Boy Friends - Michael Pedersen Taschenbuch

An intimate and original memoir of love grief and male friendship by one of Scotland's brightest young talents. Ever feel like you were fated to be friends with someone? An alchemy in your meeting instant fondness - part chemical part kismet. This is how I've felt about every friend I've fallen in love with - none so much as you. In 2018 Michael Pedersen lost a most cherished friend soon after their collective voyage into the landscape and luminosity of the Scottish Highlands. Sitting at a desk at The Curfew Tower Northern Ireland Michael begins to write to his departed friend - Scott Hu tchison. What starts as a love letter to one magical coruscating human soon becomes a paean to many friendships - perhaps all friendship. In Boy Friends Pedersen confronts the bewildering process of grief. As memories rise to the surface - both heart-wrenching and hilarious - he recalls his younger self: the overly sensitive boy growing up in working-class Edinburgh his befuddling stint in an ancient collegiate university a short-lived combustible career as a lawyer and foremost the gorgeous male friendships that have transformed his life. Written to glitter with intoxicating energy Boy Friends is a powerful depiction of friendship and loss a homage to the beauty of moments shared.
