The Boy Summary

The Boy by Germaine Greer

A genuinely groundbreaking work which has changed the way we look at boys in art, in literature and in life. In a series of carefully constructed and dazzlingly illustrated themes, ranging from the boy as a passive love object to soldier boys, from the boy under the female gaze to `what is a boy?', Germaine Greer opens our eyes and invites us to appreciate boys in all their sensuality, flirtatiousness and vulnerability.

The Boy Reviews

'A strong and convincing argument ... beautifully presented, and many will be surprised by the subtlety and morality of Greer's writing' - Telegraph (Books of the Year)
'The sensual charge in these bodies bears out her thesis ... provocative and elegant' - Times Literary Supplement
'A cornucopia of fascinating observations for us to be provoked by and enjoy ... Greer has written a stirring and provocative love letter to boyhood. Do read it' - Michele Roberts, RA Magazine
'An erudite and cheeky celebration of youthful male beauty ... In its puckish, show-off charm, its refusal to take anything for granted, even the unselfconsciousness of its own beauty, Dr Greer has managed to produce a book that is itself distinctly boyish' - Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, The Art Newspaper
'I can say, without let, hindrance or contradiction, that Germaine Greer is the single most influential and memorable human being of the 20th century' - A. A. Gill, Sunday Times
