"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 ( Scottish poet and author) lost a most cherished friend soon after their collective voyage to the Scottish Highlands. Sitting at a desk at The Curfew Tower, Northern Ireland, Michael begins to write to his departed friend -- Scott Hutchison. 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, the book is a powerful depiction of friendship and loss, a homage to the beauty of moments shared."--From publisher.
