Introduction
In BOYCHICK, Mr. Skir gives us a novel of emotional self-destruction—the story of Leo, a graduate student and homosexual, who solicits with astonishing enthusiasm his own emotional defeat.
In his totally infeasible attempt to win and hold “Boychick”—a teenage tergiversator without name, morals, or emotions—Leo structures for himself a world in which the only reality is fantasy and self-obstruction is the norm. He lives secure in the knowledge that even the worst of dreams, too, can come true.
Mr. Skir’s style is precise and his hand is accurate as he describes what it means to be human and therefore vulnerable—not only to the designs of others but to one’s own self. BOYCHICK is a novel about those who have never grown up—but it is not for children.
Mr. Skir is a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. His work has appeared in many magazines including Evergreen Review and Commentary. This is his first acknowledged novel.
