Description:
It is 1957 and Dave Ryan, a lonely 14-year-old boy living with his newly divorced mother, is wishing he had more friends and a closer relationship with his dad. When his mother hires Gene Tole to refurbish a garden in their new house, Dave discovers emotions he never imagined. Rodger Larson's What I Know Now recounts the exhilaration of first love as Dave becomes more and more attached to Gene. This is no simple coming-out story--Dave has little idea that homosexuality even exists, and Gene is completely closeted--it is, after all, 1957. The real strength of What I Know Now is the depiction of a time and place that is often labeled "innocent," allowing us to see the pain and misunderstanding that this misperception caused.
